Overcoming You

I know you aren’t dead,

but your ghost lingers

in my mind,

in my heart,

& everywhere we made memories together.

I see those blurred moments that we shared, slowly starting to fade.

I can’t say that your departure hurts,

but it does leave me haunted.

I wish I had adequate words

to describe the hole

I felt in my heart

maybe you filled it

maybe you left it bigger

than before…

all I know is that each

time you cross my mind,

I feel it again

even more

deeply than the

last.

I hold a different air around me when I know you’re back home.

What was once happy is now curious, both of what happened & if you still care.

The curiosity overwhelms me most days.

I’d rather be no one to you than to feel your cold glance

because then that would mean I never felt your warmth before feeling your winter.

-a.k.s

My gaze loves to fall upon you,

but oh,

how I wonder what your glance feels like.
