Clutching your name <br />Near to my heart <br />It’s so hard to forget <br />The way your eyes <br />See right through me <br />Reaching out my hand <br />Empty abyss greets it <br />How far did you go? <br />Once you were here <br />And now my dear <br />I search your eyes frantically <br />At a loss, no clue what to do <br />I can’t accept <br />What I know to be true <br />My hand closes around nothing <br />And I realize <br />I can’t let you go <br />But you’re already gone<br /><br />Jennifer Sollmann<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/already-gone-2/
