you became a ghost the day
you let go of all that was left
and filled the void with
a more shallow hole than the one
that deprived the love
you could not hold onto
the distance between life and death
grew to be
a walking advantage for yourself
and seemingly you were okay with that
I watched you drift away
trying to hold onto what remains
but you slowly fell out of grip
and I found myself lying on the ground
where you last took a real breath
long before anxiety took over
and your chest caved within
a time before our love destroyed
who we were
and who together we shall be
but now your soul still lingers
around the room our relationship grew upon
keeping temperatures cold
and always reminding me
our love was worth the pain I feel tonight
