Persephone

Your spirit still fills the air
Your voice is echoing in my head
Footsteps creeping through the house
I know you will come back
And I'm waiting patiently
Minutes become hours
Hours of nothingness
The clock is ticking,
Watching me in my loneliness,
Staring at the door, in hope you'll return
Counting minutes, days, months...
I can't stand this silence
