Phantom Warmth
Your arms have left, but still I feel
the ghost of you where shadows heal,
a whisper pressed against my side,
the place your hand once loved to hide.
The night is cold without your reach,
the air grows thin, the silence teach
me how a touch can linger long
after the hands that gave it belong
to someone far, to miles away.
I wear the memory like a shawl,
and every chill that starts to crawl
beneath my skin is answered by
the warmth your absence cannot deny.
Bare Shoulders
The chair still holds the shape of you,
but cold has settled where you knew to rest.
My shoulders bare, they ache for what they lost,
the weight of arms that held them through the night.
I wear the hours like a thinner coat,
and every draft finds all the places left
unguarded by your hands, your steady warmth,
the way you pressed a kiss against my hair.
I reach across the sheets to find the space
where breathing used to rise and fall in time.
The silence answers, soft and unconsoled,
and I am learning how to hold myself.
Phantom Embrace
I reach across the empty sheet,
and find the cool where you should be.
The pillow holds no weight, no heat,
just silence keeping company.
In dreams your arms come wrapping round,
a warmth that settles deep and slow,
I feel the pulse of you, the sound
of breath that softly loves me so.
Then waking tugs me from your side,
the room is hollow, dim, and bare,
and still I hold the ghost of you
like sunlight caught in morning air.
So I will count the nights till dawn,
when your true arms will close on me,
and every touch I've longed for, drawn
into the living, hoped-for free.

The Empty Embrace
I reach for you at dusk,
and find the air is cold and bare.
The pillow keeps its hollow shape,
no warmth to answer where you were.
Every hug I miss, a quiet wound,
that settles deep and will not heal.
The ache of arms that cannot hold,
the silence where your touch would dwell.
I count the hours like falling leaves,
each one a little less of you.
But love leaves marks that linger on,
and still I wait for you to come through.
Echoes of Your Embrace
Your arms are gone, yet still I feel
The warmth that lingered, soft and real.
My heart, forgetful of the miles,
Remembers you in quiet smiles.
A ghost of touch brushes my skin,
And every pulse begins to spin
With memories of hands held tight,
Of whispered words in fading light.
The pillow keeps your scent a while,
The empty side can still beguile.
And when the night grows long and deep,
My heartbeat quickens, won't let me sleep.
So come, though distance holds us apart,
And rest again against my heart.
Until that day, I'll hold the thread
Of closeness that the past has spread.
What Touch Leaves Behind
Your laughter drifted out the door,
and left the rooms an echo's hush,
but still I feel the warmth you bore,
the lingering weight of your soft touch.
The mug you held still keeps your heat,
the blanket folds where you would lie,
and every shadow seems to beat
with memories I cannot deny.
I reach for you in empty air,
my fingers find a gentler ghost,
a phantom palm, a whispered care,
the only thing I valued most.
Your laughter fades, but touch remains,
a hush of skin, a lingering grace,
and though the distance stretches, aches,
I hold your hand in every place.
Phantom Touch
My fingertips ache in the quiet hours,
reaching for the warmth your hands once gave,
like petals longing for the morning sun
that slipped away before they could be saved.
Your hugs were harbors after stormy days,
a shelter where my restless heart could rest;
now empty arms hold only the cold air,
and every silence presses on my chest.
I trace the outline of your memory,
the way your touch would linger, soft and slow,
and though the distance stretches wide between us,
my skin still keeps the gentle glow.
So here I wait with open, aching hands,
believing that one day you will return,
and I will feel your fingers find my own
and all the missing warmth at last will burn.
The Shape Your Arms Left Behind
The chair still holds the warmth you left,
the pillow keeps your scent a while,
and I reach across the empty bed
to find the space where you would smile.
The kettle sings for two, then stops,
the coat still hangs beside the door,
I learn the quiet of the hours
that used to hold you, nothing more.
So I will wait, with open hands,
the way the shore awaits the tide,
for your arms to come back home to me
and fold the distance safely inside.
The Empty Reach
I reach across the sheets at night,
my fingers searching, pale and slight,
for warmth that once was mine to hold,
for arms that wrapped me, sure and bold.
The pillow cools, the quiet grows,
and every ache a silent throws
its shadow where your shoulder lay,
the distance stretching, cold, and gray.
A hand reached out, and found but air,
the space you left still lingering there.
I trace the hollow, soft and slow,
and wait for love I hope will go
back to the place it used to be,
where touch was home, and home was thee.
