This was written for the SU 'Going Away' challenge, and is dedicated to ToManyLetters:
I wish you all the luck in the world. Thank you, for sharing this moment of friendship with us all.
I'll miss you.

Losing

And even though your smile lingers in reflection,
I find I miss the mischief in your eyes.
The emptiness of your absence echoes louder than my token
Superficial gash; not half so easy to fill with something
Meaningless, I leave your impression incomplete.

I've not been here alone before. The world tastes
Like a stranger; Perhaps, I am one myself.
My expectation for your presence endures. In the corner, a
Dementor drains at my reality, and I must fight to regain
Clarity through the haze of your shadow.

Know I am a little less myself. Silence at my lips;
In clumsiness I've lost the words.
Every expression betrays laughter you left behind for me to
Share; I'm sorry, my dear, that's been misplaced, too.
Be sure I am more careful with your memory.

Note: I hope the subject matter is obvious enough. This is probably the first proper poem I've published online, so concrit is MOST appreciated. I know I need the help!

Thank you for reading!
