Painful Goodbyes
Cold body nestles itself in
A cozy warm blanket
Under the spell of a swaying moon
I lose myself in this empty room
Surrounded by darkness
Memories of you that once swoon
Slowly begin to fade
As the hollowness inside
Insists on keeping me awake
Distance so cold
Seeps into my bones as desolate tears
Have penned in my soul
Painful verses and prose
So much time has gone by
I search to find small
Glimpses of our lives entwined
I can no longer make out your face
But a part of me keeps searching to find you anyway
Come morning
I will curse my own life
For who says half dead
Is the same as being alive
So many times I try to wish you away but
For me, it's like you never left my side
