I Leave You a Kiss

I leave you a kiss On the pillow where you lay your head Since I cannot, it must kiss you instead And I hope it will whisper sweetly The words I have folded neatly In its lavender scented weave That I cannot say- because I must leave I leave you a kiss In your silverware drawer, on a spoon Hoping it will kiss you sometime soon With your honey and cereal for breakfast Or a bowl of ice cream's frozen mist When you catch a moment's reprive But try to forget I had to leave I leave you a kiss On the pocket of your shirt In case you ever get hurt Or to ease your broken heart In the time that we're apart Every time you chance to grieve When you remember I had to leave I leave you a kiss Just hanging in the airyou Walk by and it will meet you there Just stand by my dresser and kiss it Or if you happen to miss it It will sweeten your dreams at night Making them pleasant and bright Making you almost believe That I never had to leave {By Isaiah Zerbst for the contest The Poet II.
