Things look darker now
The sights that used to brighten my days
Are now the causes for clouds above my head
The sounds I loved to listen to
Are now nothing but static in my ears
The supple skin I loved rubbing my hands on
Now feels like I’m simply rubbing an ice cold stone
You’re here yet not
I smile at your actions
Yet you’re no longer the focus of my attention
I try to act cool at everything
Yet I’m scared
At myself?
At you?
I don’t know
We’re going seperate ways yet you can’t even sense it
It makes me think
Was everything we went through just a fleeting moment
A figment of my imagination?
Do I love you?
I don’t know
Can I be without you?
I can’t imagine it
Yet something seems to be slipping out of my hands
I sit and watch the sun set
It’s fading last rays
Mirroring your lights fading in me
