Apathy grows on me, insidious vines wrap around my limbs and cover my mouth till I can't breathe. You're here with me, in this bleak, meloncholic abyss. The ghost of you wrapping weak arms around my waist, sends dusty butterflies fluttering. Promises that slipped from your mouth still dangle all over my room and I'm hanging off your every word.
I know you're gone, you're a million miles from here. But in my dreams you still sleep safely by my side... ...and I still wake up at 3am to whisper I Love you to the ghost on your side of the bed...
