Now that you have left me

I dreamed of you last night as you called to me
It was just like the sad sound of a train’s lonely whistle
Echoing over the vast prairie repeating
Retelling the story of our life together
We were so close but you are gone now
Too far from me to touch but I still see you
As your dress swirls about your body 
And I so crave that thrill of hearing your husky voice
And to touch those nimble fingers as they loosen my tie
And I savor each hug and your every glance is a present
A promise; as our limbs entwine in rapturous love 
And I kiss your nose and your throat and your breasts 
As we nestle together anxious, ardent
Amorous lovers that we once were
The wind is blowing so cold outside
I am cold too inside and I again leave the room 
To look for you once again 
And pace up and down the empty halls 
To hear the beat of my heavy heart 
Which is so full of love but empty of you 
As your own heart will never beat again 
Now that you have left me.
