Fish out of Sea

How empty the air feels without your laugh.

Sounds so unoriginal,

It's in every poem about missing someone dear.

But they have absolutely no idea.

How much you truly mean to me.

Like oxygen and the need to breathe,

That's how important you are, I need you.

Undeniably you're something I cannot live without.

Something irreplaceable and something I want.

Everything now feels empty and lost.

Your big blue eyes, only see them at night.

When I go to sleep for an hour or less.

I don't sleep well, there's a weight on my chest.

So I'm heaving and hurling just to inhale.

Don't get me started on the ache in my heart.

I don't know where it came from or how it did start.

The air is empty, unable to breathe.

So I'm gasping and gaping for oxygen,

like a fish out of the sea.

That's how I've been feeling since you've been gone.

Like a treasure misplaced on a random shelf.

Like a diamond on a kids barbie watch.

Something of value is somewhere so useless.

Can you come back to house me in your mind?

If I keep you up with thoughts all the time,

Then maybe I'm doing my job just right.

Please keep me in your head for a while.

I just need somewhere to crash for a bit. 

Until my fins turn into feet.

And I can walk off a cliff.

There’s a tenderness in the way you write through the ache.
