It's been

17 13 2
                                    

Two weeks.

Since you last spoke a word, "Goodbye"

              Unto me.

           A lot of listening.
           A lot of prayer.
           A lot of eating.
           A lot of drugs.

Your voice torn, weeks ago, but it changed when you spoke

            to me again and my world flips upside down.
 Just in times for Valentines day to be over

            from the shadow of flowers; abloom.
       grasped from the clutches of night; dawn.

Your voice melodious before, now heaven.
