Absence. 

Absence of your skin.

Your smell.

Your touch.

I no longer find peace in your smile

nor love in your laugh.

You are gone 

and I am here.

Wondering why we made distance grow so strong.

You were my darkest thoughts,

you were the demon outside of mymind.

You were real...

too real.

You made me feel like life was possible.

Like we were possible.

I look at you through gray eyes 

and your hands no longer feel soft.

Your voice no longer captures me the way it used to. 

We were something beautiful,

Something living, 

But like everything, we were ephimeral.
