Your Absence Echoes

An Acrostic

Your Absence Echoes

Since you have left,

I’ve been stricken by the harrowing realization that,

Love, like fire, cannot grow when suffocated,

Enclosed in a chamber, it is snuffed out,

Never to emerge as something beautiful, rather,

Crass, and crooked, having not seen sunlight in an,

Eternity. So how could it possibly grow when drowned in salty raindrops?
