there’s a vacancy where you used to be
this empty space consumes me
time is an illusion and it eluded us
because you’re invisible, you see
i reach out with words that pierce the air
yet my hands can’t touch a thing
i don’t want to walk this path
only to trip and scrape my knees
even though i can get up on my own
my heart wishes you’d help me.
