The Shape of Your Absence - SoloWalk

You're not here
But I can feel the shape of where you should be
I've become an expert in negative space in the hollow of a room
And the way the couch still has an indent from the month of June
When you would curl up in the corner
With a book against your chest
I traced the outline of your body on the mattress like a guest
Who overstayed a welcome that was never really given back
The shape of your absence is a silhouette that's turning black
I walk through doorways that you'll never walk through
And I pause
Because your ghost takes up more space than any natural 'cause
The shape of your absence is a puzzle missing every single piece
It's a one that never closes
It's a war that never finds peace
The outline of your hand still fits exactly on my hip
And I'm living in the sculpture of a love that took a trip
The shape of your absence is a language I'm learning to speak every day
It's the hollow in the pillow
It's the words I didn't say
It's the chair that no one sits in
It's the cup that's always dry
It's the echo of your laughter
It's the ghost of your goodbye
The shape of your absence is a map of everywhere you used to be
And I'm tracing every contour
Like a blind man learning to see
The shape of your absence is the only shape I know by heart
It's the negative of a photograph that's been torn apart
If absence has a shape does it ever change or grow?
Or does it just stay frozen in the shape of what we used to know?
I'm trying to fill the empty spaces with furniture and art
But the shape of your absence is the shape inside my heart
The shape of your absence
I'm learning to build a frame around it to call it art
The shape of your absence is the shape of a broken heart
