The grief of losing you
hangs heavy above me
like a pre storm cloud
Haunting my every move
Swirling around my head
Waiting to take me
Claim my brain as a hostage
This darkness I get lost in
It's as if all the color
Has been drained from my world
A whirlwind of emotions
Threaten to consume me
The weight of the ache
That crushes my soul
Is too much to bear
And all I know
Is every breath I've taken
Since you walked away
Is like shards of glass
Piercing my lungs
Infiltrating my heart
Tearing me to pieces
Leaving nothing but shreds
Of my inner self
Everything I was
Burned to ashes
In the wake of your absence
Now here I lay
still burning with memories
Of you and us
You say there's nothing left
Yet I feel your heart
All these miles away
924 to be exact
Isnt that what you said
Here without you
All I feel is dead
Numb to everything
Apart from needing you
What I wouldn't do
To make you see the truth
what I wouldn't give
for you to be mine again
The same blood
Running in your veins
Courses through mine
Way back when
You said I have your rib
It took all this time
To see you were right
You opened my eyes
Remember those long nights
Spilling our hearts through the phone
Drowning in the magic
Of heart pounding love
Don't you remember how if felt
Air sucked from the room
Every goodbye and goodnight
Was always too soon
For me our love
nothing short of
A real life fairy tale
Not the kind with
a perfect ending
Rather one that is there
In a moment
Seemingly gone the next
Nothing but a memory
Of the beauty of what was
The beauty of us.
