please, if you do anything
dont leave
dont leave
just stay. with me
an absence of you makes echoing
chasms in my chest
heart in the marsh, empty cavity
when i feel the hollow
in my bed
the cold spot where you aren’t
i want need miss you so hard
i can taste it
i could breathe it
i could cry it
if only salty oceans
would bring me back to you, you back to me
when you’re not here
my own voice bounces around in my head
reverberates off the walls of my ribs
eternal.
