When you left
I sat in the silence
Thinking of all we were and all we were yet to be.
I cannot stop seeing your ghost walking around,
Lurking in all the places where we were happy.
It haunts me in my dreams,
Reminds me of all we were and all we were yet to be.
I don't know how to tell my body that it won't be held in your arms anymore.
Because she's held securely in them.
I don't know how to teach my neck to stop craving the light graze of your lips.
Because tonight they're resting lightly on hers.
I hoped you'd hear my voice above the silence
And rescue me before I drowned
In the darkness of my soul,
I hoped you would find me
And love my  beautiful mess.
