How Many

How many days have passed
since our separation
Lonely November mornings
provide no consolation
How many nights have gone
slipping through our grasp
Holding tight to pillows
wishing all of this the past
How many steps I've walked
blindly acting out my part
Trudging through the aspects
that no nothing of my heart
How many breaths exhaled
fading farther with the breeze
Living shattered dreams
slumber my last appease
