I mourn for... I mourn for the touch we'll never have.
I mourn for the laugh we'll never... share.
I mourn for the late nights we'll never have, sitting across each other, drinking into the night and talking away, furtive glances across the table at each other, chuckling or laughing at something said and looking away for fear of... revealing.
I mourn for the sparkle I'll never see, those twinkle in your eyes as you smile or laugh quietly at something silly I said.
I mourn for the times when, we're both quiet in the dim light, eyes searching in the depths of darkness for... something beyond us.

I mourn for... I mourn for a scent I'll never know.
I mourn for a space we'll never... share.
I mourn for the lost days when we walk in the streets, hand in hand, hand squeezing hand at something, pointing out to you a reflection in a window, a glitter from the corner of my eye.
I mourn for the breath I've never felt on my cheek.
I mourn for the times when, it's quiet and I have nothing to say, neither do you, but it's okay.

I mourn for... I mourn for a kiss I'll never taste.
I mourn for a love we'll never... share.
I mourn for the times we spoke of, all in the past now, so let's forget.
I mourn for the warmth I'll never feel, because the distance between heartbeats is too far in between.

I mourn for what is real
I mourn because I am not.
 
That was great. Sunflower is right, it is like it realates to us all in some way. Like a touch of words that we all try to express but do not always get out in correct order.
 
you have no idea how close to home this hits.... and it sucks so damn bad and each day makes it harder to forget... although, contradicting myself, i dare say, with each day it gets better.... it was his choice anyway, not mine.

i felt this was a little less thought out in its wording than some of your other pieces, so it lost a little of its impact... but the above is an excelent line...

You're right dude, this was quite impromptu and admittedly not as "tight". I didn't think much into it at all really, just went with the flow and my thoughts. I didn't really focus on the form, so the way it came out is completely au naturale.

I guess you can't even call it a poem... I've been quite outta touch with that side of me. So just treat this as some words and thoughts :)
 
I think this is the closest we've ever been to seeing the real you in your work. You are a gifted writer and have written some amazing things but I love this piece because of its rough edges.

And i think this:

I mourn for the times when, we're both quiet in the dim light, eyes searching in the depths of darkness for... something beyond us.

in what we all want in the end. Something more than the tangible.

I miss reading your writing.

This one was perfect because of its imperfections.
