blank

my heart has quieted

your name wasn’t enough for me to capture your being

i call out to you hoping to hear your echo

but the tenderness fails to come

the anxiousness seeping through

by focusing on the ending i robbed us of meaning in relationship

i was what you needed and you were what i needed

illuminating the shadows i confined myself to

my wildest imagination molding its limits to match yours

the feeling starting in my chest, flowing into the rest of where my body is desperate for your touch

it finally reaches my soul, delicately cupping it

an interruption worth noticing

then abruptly, your essence is wrenched from my heart

it's cold 

so cold it steals the very warmth from my body, leaving a smothering numbness in its place

i can feel your warmth subsiding

shutting my eyes to make sense of reality

shutting my eyes as a pitiful attempt to refuse it

every moment i realize your departure causes waves of agony, each one more painful than the last

the memory of your hands leaving my owns

their absence eating away at me

how fated our confrontation was meant to be

frighteningly beautiful

the lonely soul is lonely again.
