How The Flowers Grow Between The Cracks

Your voice is tremendously absent.
I can’t seem to find your laugh anywhere 
and your smile seems to be a no-show.

After you left,
I found lots of space.
I’m still deciding on who should occupy it.

In the meantime,
I am learning to be enough 
to fill it in its entirety.
