i'm in that sunken place again
where you never existed
and i don't, either
floating in my darkened consciousness
sinking, drowning, dying in
pain, regret, sorrow

3am
i'm lying wide awake
bathing in the moonlight
that once lit through our 5 hour conversations
the empty space beside me
feeling so insignificant now

lonely pillows soaked in tears
whispering the saddest lullaby:
"come here, moon child
you'll fly too."
