Shake
Inkblot Savant Apr 2019
Everyday I walk through my door
                                                            hoping to see you there.
Everyday I wish you were here
                                                       smiling waiting, for me.
Everyday I pass
                          the shoes you left behind.
Everyday I return
                             home to a darkness and my head hangs.
Everyday it moves side to side
                                                    slowly shaking.
Everyday thoughts of you
                                           cross my mind and the tears cross my eyes.

I shake my head, shake shake shake the tears away.

Everyday I reach out towards nothing
                                                                 and I miss you.
Everyday I cry out for you
                                             sobbing, shaking, trembling.
Everyday I dream
                             of everyday with you.
Everyday I hope

        Everyday I hope

                Everyday I hope

Then I shake.
I cry and shake.
Shake the pain away.
Shake
              shake
                           shake

Shake the thoughts that plague my mind away.

SHAKE SHAKE ...
     Go ...
                                        Go ...
                       Go ...
                                                                       please,
just ...
           leave.

Leave my mind, let me be, leave me a the husk of humanity .

The thoughts they stay so I...

Shake and laugh at how foolish loving you has made me.
Shake in anger for these emotions to leave .
Shake in misery for my foolishness.
Shake in rage for not being empty.

I shake for every moment that we could be, I shake for the moments we are not. I shake for you.

— The End —
