Searching

I found you in the corners of my room

In the nooks and crannies where

I had carefully laid the pieces of myself

That no one else should see

The fears, the hopes, the shared lost dreams.

Our hands, they mingled in the dark

And my eyes caught on a flash of light,

Gold and blues

Your favorite hues

They mixed til all I saw was black

I reached for you, but could not find

The hands I held, the eyes that cried

For you like me, are human too

And you had passed just like they do

To someone else, someone new

And I was left to look for you

in pieces of sky turned pink and blue
