no pun intended

Wherever I go from here

(from you)

I will carry with myself

This void,

Otherwise pictured with numerous people.

.

I will carry you

With me everywhere

In the very emptiness,

Like a photo carries

A vacant place in its frame

For the one absent

And I know

I will step outside the frame

Every now and then

(in spite of myself),

And miss you

(maybe a little less frequently

as time wears on).

.

Do not think

The picture will look any less perfect

Without you;

No one will notice

(not even you

if you were to return)

Your absence,

Or for that matter

The sadness in the corner of my eyes

And all over my heart.
