Time

Things I saved from my note's app #3

Every step I took since you left was weighed down,
By the words we left unspoken,
By the grief that took every breath out of my body,
By the emotions gnawing away at my soul,
By the hole that had been stabbed through my ribs,
Leaving a perfect view of my shattered heart.

Every second that passed, I prayed.
I hoped that you were still there,
That I would walk around the corner, and our eyes would interlock,
That it was all a part of my imagination.
I hoped that you would come back,
That you would walk through the door you stepped out of.
I hoped that my messages would go through.
But they never did.

The silence without you was suffocating,
Minute by minute, I drowned in memories of us,
How we used to watch those videos,
How your body felt wrapped around mine,
How warm you felt,
How much comfort your scent brought me.
Each little reminder sliced channels into my heart.
