Disclaimer: Not mine.

A/N: I was inspired while reading a poem in my English class and was like "oh, I could write something like this." And then this was written. It's based on Grissom's thoughts and feelings (mine as well) after Goodbye and Good Luck. This poem is supposed to be formatted differently, so, sorry if it's annoying but fanfic wouldn't post it the way I wanted it to... As for my other stories, I promise I have not abandoned them, but on top of some MAJOR writer's block, my finals have just started. I will continue those two ASAP.

Has It Been Only A Week…

Has it been only a week

Of this desperation and despair?

Has it been only a week

With this pain in my chest?

Feeling the pieces of my heart crumble

Has it been only a week?

For my heart tells me otherwise

Has it been only a week

Of being without you?

For I merely thought

Our hearts and minds

Were tied together

Bound for eternity

Has it been only a week

Since you left this house?

Has it been only a week

Since you left this town?

Has it been only a week

Since you left this state?

Has it been only a week

Since you left this…me?

For it seems so much longer

The heartache tells me so

That feeling in my stomach

As if I've been punched

The air knocked out of my lungs

Left with no reason to draw another breath

Is this what it feels like to be alone?

I was alone before you

And it didn't hurt like this

Is this the feeling when you lose your love?

Has it been only a week

Since I have loved, been loved, and lost

The seven days went by

Without a word from you

And without much I could do

Because you were…

…are part of me

My better half

Has it been only a week

Without you by my side?

Has it been only a week

Since I held you tight?

Has it been only a week

Since you were here with me?

Has it been only a week

Since you walked out of my life?

Has it been only a week

Since I saw your smile?

Heard your laugh?

Saw that twinkle in your eyes?

No

It's been longer than a week

Longer for I know I haven't seen those trademarks of yours in these past weeks

No

Not weeks, months

It's been months

You haven't been happy

Nor have I…

But if we were together

Everything would fall into place

Right?

Has it been only a week?

Seven mornings waking without you beside me

168 hours without you

10,080 minutes without you

Seven days without you…

But it feels like eternity

Without you beside me

Has it been only a week

Since you left…

…me?…

A/N:Okay, yes, this was based on my thoughts too as well as Grissom's (but mainly mine. I just thought it would fit him). Besides, shut up, ya know you thought like this too! Please Review! I'd like to know what you thought, to know if my attempt at poetry fell flat or not... :)
