Sunrise leaves you asleep
Me nervous at the imminence of what the day brings

Silence where there was none
Empty spaces gently cradling deleted joy
Waiting for life to begin again

But this place inside me that once held our future feels
Small and
                  Far away

Falling
Tumbling
Endlessly
Down

I'm powerless to halt its descent

So here I am silent

Wanting to ask if you still love me
Terrified I know the answer
