No time anymore,
And not even enough energy to ask,
Why or how or where.

Once the envy of all,
Now known to none.
What has happened here?

Silence falls, shatters in
The space between our words,
Our conversations falter and break.

Torn between staying and leaving,
Wanting neither, wishing for both.
Looking the other way isn’t enough anymore.

I feel nothing, and everything
When you’re not here.
