Unable to sleep
Though my eyes are so tired
From having to see all the pain
I pour in the mirror
Day by day.
(They've never felt better than the last time when your face was reflected in their blue shade).
I switch from side to side
In this bed where your absence
Makes me feel like I am in the middle of a snowstorm
While I'm trying to run from all those monsters
I once told you about.
The ones your voice would chase away at night
Just by calling and saying that everything is all right.
And
I miss the way your arms around me made me feel warm
On that Friday night
When the worst monster was the train taking me away from your side.
And I miss you.
But that's something I am not suppose to say.
Not now.
Not now that the Universe has decided
To place our hearts at a safe distance one from the other.
And under these layers of skin and flesh
I can feel my soul turning into a pile of dust
wearing the scent of your embrace.
After all,
I guess,
No distance is long enough
For a heart filled with longing.
and pain.
