They compare it to darkness.
This feeling that consumes me.
But it isn't "darkness"
I am aware of myself in the dark,
but when I close my eyes
I am not "just"
I am "nothing"

Confusion, exhaustion
I am lost

Where are you?
Where am I?

Show me the way.
Pull me from the pit of my tragedies
Save me from myself

Light. Glorious light.
High above me

I cannot reach
so here I remain

every little thing i write
at every ticking second of the clock
turns out to be
just another arrangement of letters
that i use to describe you
because every single second
of every single day
i think about you
and there will never be enough words
to explain how absolutely oblivious you are
to the fact that if you said “i love you”
i would say it back
before the letter “u”
could fall off your lips

I never realized
how empty my arms had been
until you filled them.

I never realized
how my heart would cease to beat
when you were away

I see your smile still
It's too bright for me to sleep
haunting in the day

And I count the stars
In hopes of finding you there
But there you are not

I search galaxies
for your resonating laugh
silence heard instead

I ask the children
if they've ever seen beauty
They've never seen you

The road it tells me
to follow; I'll find you there
Lost in traffic signs

The wind she whispers
ecstatic, telling secrets
carrying your scent

I can feel your skin
saturating sweetly
in love chemicals

I open my eyes
the world looks emptier now
close my eyes, you're gone
