Ashtray

This time I waited
but nothing.
Not even your shadow
came to me.
It was lonely and quiet
but I sat still.
I was laughed at
but held on.
To nothing.

This time I wanted you
but you didn’t show up.
At our spot.
Our own spot.
It was dark.
My world had lost its spark.
I longed more to see you.
Each passing second.
Till I couldn’t anymore.

This time I shed no tears.
It was strange.
I still want my spark
but this night already left its mark.
