my heart aches.
what could have been?
memories flood.
who would I be?
tears fall.
why did I go?
hiraeth: a homesickness for a home that you cannot return to; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past

like the sky without stars,
like a tree without roots,
like a dog without its owner,
like an ocean without water,
i'm lost without you.

i’m drawn to you like
a meteor to the earth
burning in the sky

but who will it hurt?
and if it leaves a crater
whose heart will it burn?

I thought I could handle it
I really thought I could
But then you walked in
And all I could think was,
“Oh shoot. I’m *******.”

you
     promised
           me

but

the tracks have left me.
i am no longer guided.
i'm derailed again.

i look at you
you look at me
i have never felt more alive
