Not Here...

It isn’t working.

I could pretend to be okay.

I could get drunk after so many bottles of beer.

I could dance the night away

as though

you were in one of the tables

watching me from a distance.

I could try to forget

that you’re not here.

But when the night is over

And everyone has gone,

The ghost of you remains,

and the truth catches up with me:

That I am all alone.

That you are miles away,

And this thing

around my waist

is not your arms

but my pretentious pillow

trying desperately

to take your place.
