You asked me
Once what I wanted.
And I struggled to tell you.
I could never find the words
To show you,
That I can’t live without you.
I could never find the words
To describe how you keep
Me from the darkness
That calls to me.
But when you left,
I shouted them from
The rooftops.
I screamed until
My throat was raw.
That all I really wanted
Was you.
Endless moments,
Comfortable silences,
Nights as beautiful
And as calming
As those eyes of yours.
When my nights grew colder,
I wrapped my arms around my
Thoughts,
Just to feel you there.
Because even though they still sting,
My memories are all I have left of you,
And I can’t let them go.
