Void

I wrote this poem a year ago...


Time fades too fast
Holding you in my arms, I will never give you up.
I try to catch each second and store it for later.
Trying to keep up with you, is near impossible.
I’ll always love you.

My hallowed body caves in around me
Life as I know it, has changed forever.
I close both blinds in your room,
Leaving it, untouched and empty.
I walk out, and close it all behind.
Sometimes goodbyes aren’t that easy.

Expecting to see you walk through the door.
Still having no reason to see you go.
Vacant, and torturing no one should go through this.
I keep pleading for you to come home.

Embrace each day as your last
Some lives get cut off too quickly.
I think about you constantly.
“Remember that time…”
I do. I always will.
