The sunlight settles on the floor
Where you once stood.
The dust that's scattered
Across the broken floorboards
Resembles your shape.
Everything reminds me
Of you.
Your scent
Still lingers in the air
And sticks
To the back of my throat .
Shadows now creep
Upon the empty sheets
That we where once
Tangled in.
The silence
That was once filled
With your laughter
Deafens me.
You left without a trace
Yet what you left behind
Was damage
Beyond repair.

The sunlight settles on the floor
Where you once stood.
The dust that's scattered
Across the broken floorboards
Resembles your shape.
Everything reminds me
Of you.
Your scent
Still lingers in the air
And sticks
To the back of my throat .
Shadows now creep
Upon the empty sheets
That we where once
Tangled in.
The silence
That was once filled
With your laughter
Deafens me.
You left without a trace
Yet what you left behind
Was damage
Beyond repair.
