A Haiku For The First Time I Slept Without You

By

I inhaled a breath
the smell of you on my skin
a deadly concoction

but you are not here
you are long gone from this place
it’s always been you

if you ever left
I think I would go crazy
where did you go now?

the smell of absence
you could be right next to me
but it will not stop

why am I still wearing your t-shirt?
