you are the words i want to hear

the air i want to fill my lungs

the voice i wish i had,

the fear that fills me

could fill an ocean

it fills all the parts of me

the parts that are gone,

filling the spaces you left

with mud and blood and tears

how could we have know it

would be like this.

the days turn into weeks

and like the autumn leaves

i fall softly to the floor.

floating down the ripples of air

created when you walked way.

time winds down

and im left alone

to face the emptiness,

the gaps in me

will stay empty

while i try in vain

to replace all of me.
