Pillow thoughts
I wish we had a little more time together to spend
but your soul already left this world
and somehow
mine did too
the world stopped turning the day you passed
I felt it
in my heart
in my skin
in my bones
in every fiber of my being
the sun stopped being warm
the birds no longer sang
and since
the old woman never left her home
but I’m still here
standing, pretending everything is fine
pretending that I’m alive
waking up every day without your "good morning"
and getting to bed every night without your "good night"
I wish you were still here
there is so much I wanted to tell you
so much I wish I said
so much secrets in my eyes forever kept
forever untold
now, I tell it to the stars
hoping you’re listening
hoping you’re there.
