And as I stand
Alone
In the dead of night
I will whisper
The immortal words
“I love you”
And hope a shooting star
Catches them on its way by
And brings them
To you.

I feel so broken
And alone.
My lungs are on fire,
The home you built inside my heart
Set ablaze
And my love for you crashes over me
Like waves.
Cold as they move through the space
In my chest that you once occupied.
And though strong and unforgiving,
Still unable to salvage the burning home.
And I am alone in the dark
Waiting for it
To consume me

The water rushes over her feet
And carries her away
On this dark
And stormy day
And her friends
They scream and shout and cry
As she tells
The world goodbye

And when your demons
Are stealing the air from your lungs
I will put my lips to yours
And breathe life
Back into you

I can distract myself
Long enough
To forget how much I love you
Until it’s 2 AM
And my restless thoughts
Echo your name.

I yearn for the warmth I felt
When I looked into your eyes
And for the strength I felt
In the fortress of your arms
And I search for the colors of the universe
That disappeared when you left

In you I found myself
And in you I lost myself
