Autumn Leaves

Hearts Apart

By Abby LynnaePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

It's important to realize that you can miss something without wanting it back.

Gone like the desired air that leaves my lungs breathless,

Deflated from the weight of your foot on my chest,

My mouth hangs open in shock as the pressure envelopes me

In a weighted slumber. My glazed eyes hold yours as I drift into the dark.

As scared as an innocent child, and with a warmth like the sun’s rays in summer,

You had caged me in the safety of your love and the compassion of your heart,

I remember you were beautiful to me like a star in the azure sky the heaven's painted lovely,

But altered was my view, as the soul I found attractive, left beauty wanting.

Somehow disconnected, somewhat taken back, we shredded like dry leaves,

Lifted from the stagnant pressure created, the combination of the wrong alchemic elements

Placed in impossible disarray, ending in complete and utter disaster as turmoil roamed inwardly free.

Separated but connected through time, a resounding ache yet resides in this apocalypse.

So although you are gone far away from my struggle with relief and despair,

You will find that there is ever, in my heart, a portion reserved for you here.

About the Creator

I think it's important to share struggles with others in order to help the same types of people in their own lives. Heaven knows enough other people with struggles worse than mine have helped me in the past.
