a loneliness filled in your absence
an absence i still haven't filled

your ghosts still haunt the hallways
the walls still whisper your names
the mirrors still remind me of your words
i still miss you somedays

your absence grows and festers
crashing in the wind
i wish you'd leave me faster
despite the emptiness

you try to fix the broken
but your skeletons have long been moved
i wish you would've listened
there's nothing you can do
