I have spent
will spend
days here
retracing her footsteps
placing her smiles
in every reflection
and her laughter
in the cold empty corners
of these rooms
I will imagine
her beside me as I sleep
whispering in my ear
waking my heart
warming the coldness
that now haunts these dreams
I have spent
will spend
hours here
waiting for keys
to turn
and for ghosts
to leave
I have spent
will spend
all my life
waiting
waiting
waiting
