The Me That is Left

Posted on May 19, 2025 by The Living Hand Staff

The clear skies leave space for the sun to shine

And the soft air attracts the birds’ sweet song

My skies are too dark for the sun to rise

And my birds have fled like my love who’s gone

The stars shine in wait of calming dreams

And the fireflies carry the hopeful wishes that are spoken

My star has dissolved along with me

And regret has made me more than broken

I regret all of our senseless fights

And the words that were left unsaid

I regret not following you that night

And letting you leave instead

I no longer know the face that others see

And my eyes have lost their vibrant glow

I zone out while staring at the swaying trees

Unable to remember who I was so long ago

My laugh only lingers in the past

While my feet feel unsteady, unable, unwilling

I wonder how long this feeling will last

Without him my life is no longer fulfilling.
