It Will Always Be You

I ache to be held in your arms and have you nuzzle my hair I can still smell cool water on my sheets your face has become a mask where once I could read you with a look, I am now clueless our house is tumbling down lumber passes your head without a single glance your eyes are veiled their darkness impenetrable, I search for a glimmer of hope, finding none the enemy within love, is devouring me one tiny piece at a time it’s stripping my sanity into mere ribbons of reality the scent of nights together haunt my sleep I reach for your form to find a vast endless space I have become a husk consumed by what was once a blessing my complete utter adoration of you and now, until my heart stops its beating and my lungs stop breathing I will forever and always hold this love for you
