I saw you walk out the door
_____
The void you left feels heavy
I still breathe in the sheets
_____
Looking for your faint outline
_____
I roam the world, gripped
_____
By thoughts that always run away
_____
Toward you, the only one
Able to bring me back to life
_____
With a single snap of your fingers
I'll gather pieces of you
_____
If earth and sky are blended in this room
_____
Time's just the shadow of your existence
_____
Empty space is full of your absence
_____
And in every corner your essence's still here
_____
Which you lost when you closed that door
_____
Leaving no doubt, since she won't come back
_____
And I still hope, and that's what counts
_____
It doesn't matter how much time is left
_____
You come back and my bones come back too
I'll recount pieces of you
_____
I pull my knees against my chest
_____
To hold in all my rage
_____
I softly bite these lips
_____
You'll wipe them dry with your fingers
_____
I barely wash myself
_____
I dress with zero care
_____
I choose nothing that matches
_____
In my heart it's always nightfall
_____
There's no room even for a prayer
_____
I'll gather pieces of you
_____
If earth and sky are blended in this room
_____
Time's just the shadow of your existence
_____
Empty space is full of your absence
_____
You come back and all my bones come back
I'll gather pieces of you
