I caught myself on seeking you in everything around me; I seek you in smoke of my morning cigarettes, in every person passing my bitter, dusky windows, I seek you in each of my cold, lifeless breaths coming out under lousy haze, I seek you in empty rooms of our flat, alcohol smuges staining our walls, I seek you in every flaw craved onto my skin, in every bruise adorning my body like diamonds, I seek you in eyes of strangers, in cracked mirrors crying out hurtful truth, I seek you within my lies, telling everyone I’m fine. I seek you because I’m nothing without you, I can feel myself slipping away.

Shattered glass
I caught myself on seeking you in everything around me; I seek you in smoke of my morning cigarettes, in every person passing my bitter, dusky windows, I seek you in each of my cold, lifeless breaths coming out under lousy haze, I seek you in empty rooms of our flat, alcohol smuges staining our walls, I seek you in every flaw craved onto my skin, in every bruise adorning my body like diamonds, I seek you in eyes of strangers, in cracked mirrors crying out hurtful truth, I seek you within my lies, telling everyone I’m fine. I seek you because I’m nothing without you, I can feel myself slipping away.
