Gone

By Olivia Bernhard

Gone.

                    Never

                  To

                  Come home.

Gone.

                     I

                  Wait

                  Forever

                  For you.

Gone.

                     To work.

                  You

                  Wave goodbye.

Gone.

                     For six hours

                  I await

                  Your return.

Gone.

                     The news

                  My

                  Breaking heart.

Gone.

                     All

                  Reasons

                  For  life.

Gone.

                  It’s all

                  Pointless

                  Without you.

Gone.

                  I ran

                  Down the

                  Empty highway.

Gone.

                  The truck

                  The headlights

                  In my eyes.

                                                                                         

Gone.

                  The fear.

                                                      Light, feather light.

                                                      In a white field with

                                                      You.

                                    Laughing.

                  Talking.

Here.
