Gone Poem by Eila Mahima Jaipaul

trying to be observant was no use
a row of leafless trees divided the street and us
but they registered only to my eyes
trembling, I want to huddle on myself
you vanished, time vanished
everything vanished, except the fear
that I would never again feel you
I never took you for granted
realizing the comfort I take in your presence
it was there, promising joy beyond knowing
love so rich, colors paled.
and now you're gone
and it's all I am aware of
all I can be aware of
you are gone.
