Fire Is A Lot Like Missing You
I'm so lonely without you.
Feels like one half of who I used to be.
Maybe there is some truth to this feeling.
Even though I know what being complete is like.
I can't picture me without you.
And this is a horrible reminder of what that is like.
Without a trace of you, I feel so empty.
Please take this feeling out of my memory.
These tears fall down my cheeks slowly.
I have nothing left inside me.
Except for this hollowing feeling that grows each day.
Like a fire being force-fed oxygen.
This depletion of your scent drives me wild.
Because I used to remember it so well.
I struggle to feel your presence once more.
Knowing that you are so far and yet so near to me.
Every ridge and curve of your face fuels my sadness.
I can almost imagine you standing next to me.
With your arms around me tightly,
Reasurring me that everything will be alright.
What do I do?
To take my mind off of this pain?
It corses through out my body.
Leaving me weak and vulnerable.
I haven't a chance without you and your love.
You are my oxygen.
And I am that fire.
Without you my life is stale, and I die out.
Burning away brightly is what I cherish.
But it seems that I will no longer exist.
My body feels numb as I stop crying out your name.
And I know at this moment,
That my fire will blaze no more.
