Gone

nothing remains

I remember when things were sunny. You'd smile and my heart would jump. That serene feeling I'd get when I looked into your eyes.

Now all I feel is pain. Now I can hardly move, but my heart still beats quietly for you.

You're gone but you still torment me.

Everyday I look for you and find you nowhere, but the ghost of you hovers beside me everywhere I go. I will never be rid of it.

I see you in the big trunked tree in the park where we used to laugh together. I see you in the soccer field at school, where I used to watch you play. I see you in that magical forest where we first began to fall. Even when I sleep I cannot escape the memory of you.

With you everyday meant something. Now I'm lost, I have nothing. My heart is numb and my body is paralyzed. Laying on the cold floor damp with tears, waiting for you to come back.

Can a heart still beat when it's broken?

Everyday I die without you. Hurting more and more each time the sun goes down and you're still not here. I call out for you but I'm answered with a black icey silence that never seems to end.

You stopped saving me.

It's as if I'm in an empty ocean with no land in sight. I'm trying to swim but it's too hard. Something from the deep grabs ahold of me and yanks me under the surface.

I'm drowning, struggling for air, but the darkness overtakes me.

My life comes in flashes in front of my eyes, but I don't see you. You're not there.

You disappeared.

You're not coming back.

Tell me what is more painful: living without you, or being haunted by your memories.
