You Will Search For Me
You will search for me in places
Places that you’ll take her
Hoping to relive our moments
And my presence imprinted in memory.
I left these traces for you
Like a trail of crumbs in the woods
So that your longing
Will one day bring you home.
But you will find that it is futile
For you cannot find what you yourself
have left behind.
You will then search for me in her.
And when you hold her at night
As you touch her with your fingertips,
She will crumble in on herself beneath you
And you will remember
how I had felt so full and whole.
