Absence

Never a loss

It’s an easy enough mistake to make
thinking of an absence as merely a loss.
Whereas what you have lost
you once held close or tight

an absence is something you
will never know nor touch, despite
it burning a hole through your eyes,
your heart and, always, your soul.

Unceasingly.
