I was left breathless,
The air, thick, heavy,with the weight of memories that didn't last
Thoughts like restless shadows raced back and forth.,
But my heart whispered only one name.
My lungs forgot their purpose,
To draw in air, then release,
without feeling the need to collapse.
Each dragged inhale was a reminder of how
The air feels empty , without substance
How I am suffocating without him
I wanted to cry,
but I made a choice not to lose to him.
Still, the tears pressed,
Urgently pleading for release.
I miss his scent,
The way it clung to me,
long after he left.
I chased his touch in my dreams ,
how it made me feel,
subtle, but undeniable.
A slow and gentle graze,
set fire beneath my skin.
His face, i had mastered.
Every smile, every tilt of his head,
memorized like a sweet poem
Now it blurs.
Fades.
And I hate myself for forgetting
what I swore to myself,
One foot in, another out.
I had missed love
the warmth of it,
the way it wraps around your little world
and makes it feel like poetry.
I missed love,
But I forgot
how hard it gets.
when a loved one leaves.
How he takes pieces of you,
Like the heart that learnt how to sing,
