Because you're not here.

by @Tallflower

I woke up with a hole in my chest again. In my dream I was screaming "I miss my best friend" On the pillow a single tear from the silent cries. I look for you in everything. Like I'm trying to find missing puzzle pieces the size of individual particles. Pieces of me that shattered when I lost you. Sometimes I find you and like a warm blanket you cover me, Making me feel safe like only you always could. Other times, I can't find you And I'm left feeling broken and like maybe I wasn't as tough as you believed. There's a scar with your name branded across my heart. Some days I wake up and it's bleeding Some days I wake up screaming Most days I wake up lonely I miss you...
