Syllabic Ghosts

The syllabic ghosts of your voice
still linger in air
syntax is lost
shattered without care
this love
neglected in act
neglectfully left unsaid
nothing but quiet
nothing but sad
and so I stay
lost in an empty bed
subjected to the critique
of cold pillows and sheets
if I can just sleep through mourning
I might miss out on grief
