To grieve is to gather what you can no longer see,
Through exposed tired irides and a heart full of debris.
In the forefront of my mind, a special place that you’d reserved,
I guess you’re lucky you left first so as to avoid all of this hurt.
Memories of our time together, not even remotely compared,
To the love that you gifted me in the home that we shared.
I would give everything that I have left within me, to see you run through that door,
To hold you in my arms again and catch a breath of that scent that I adored.
You took such a piece of me that night that you left, an empty void that remains within the constraints of my chest.
Now I just exist here without you, a lump in my throat that feels like a thousand tethers,
Left to reminisce how special our time was together.
