All those words and those emotions

I can’t help but still feel

Even after all the distance

All the darkness now between us

As much as I wish

That I could let go completely

Even through the silence

You’re still there to haunt me

You and the spectre you’ve become

The embodiment of my mistakes

Floating freely just beyond my vision

But I know you’re there

And I long for the answers

To questions I never even had

The chance to ever ask

The scars and the remnants

Of something beautiful now broken

Surround me as I move to carry on

And as I reach out

As I try to find some shelter

Instead I pull the pain in tighter

And pierce my soul again

With the ending that I wrought

From what was meant to last forever

Maybe not as what I wanted

But in some form or fashion

If only I could ever hope

To fill that empty space you left

When you walked away
