Closure

Relief.
Jacob Rofini May 2016
I know my standards should be raised from someone who hardly acknowledges my being a person, but every day of every week of every month the smallest recollection of you cause an overwhelming sensation of euphoria, not even happiness but euphoria.
I ponder the smallest conversation, the faintest touch; every piece of you gives my being more reason to go on.  And you don't even know it.  But still I say: euphoria.
When given the chance my mind runs races of just what we could be.  All far fetched--  all ungraspable fantasies, but the thought of us as one keeps me afloat.  Euphoria.

I force myself to stop, to grasp the truth instead, I loathe these sensational battles with what will never be.  But I always pray to feel it again:

Euphoria.

i cannot see
is this the darkness or just light escaping me
darkness is a spirit
weighing on your shoulder
light is a freedom
more than a rolling boulder
but at least darkness is an entity;
a grim embrace bringing you into the black
without light i am nothing
just a void shell, a permanent set back
never to feel the warmth of love or the chill of a smile
it is nothing, no moon nor sunlight
so i cannot help but ask myself
would i rather be dark or just void of light?
