when people leave
you get this feeling
an ache in your chest
your heart never rests
it doesn’t matter
how they leave
be it
by closing their eyes
and letting the dark
consume them whole
or just them moving
across the globe
there is no doubt
you will feel
things that no one
deserves to feel
it might feel
as if a knife
were to go right through your chest
as if a blade
was made for your wrists
and sometimes
you think that it’s your fault
but please don’t
you already did your best
