I kissed the air, Hoping it would reach you. Holding dearly onto my chest, I feel The beating of my heart Its beats slow, mirroring my sense of being lost Without the touch of you to cling to. My mind rewinds the words you spoke, Hoping to preserve the warmth You’ve created in places I never knew I could feel. Nights I dream only of you, Your voice caressing my soul as it once had. These dreams bring me bittersweet comfort To feel a deep pain of resentment, Because you never taught me How to unlove you. How will I ever live again After knowing how bright the world was When I was with you? Everything feels lifeless Without your warmth to keep Me at rest. Even the stars, which light the night, Fall dimly without your presence beside me. Now I can only hold onto the memory of you As a gaping hole That you carved away As you left me, Leaving me to ache gently. For now, every night, The moon must bear watching Me cry, over and over, For how much I miss you.
