i come here to dwell
not in pity
nor in sadness
just to sit
on empty nights
in silent darkness
perfectly alone
behind memories
lost in you
all over again
too see you
without seeing you
hearing your voice
soft yet warm
a gentle mumble
through the words you write
i crave your interaction
any interaction
messages written
words forgotten
long discarded
never spoken
it takes a lot
to sit so close
to the one thing
you want most
and remain silent
god, it takes a lot
a lot of fucking love
to not scream into the abyss
in the hope you’ll answer
to lose you
not by label
of lover or friend
nor the bright eyed girl
i craved to know
but the one
who loved all of me
and the parts
i’d not show.
