Still

Still reaching 

For you 

In the dark;

Searching for something 

That my mind 

Can no longer 

Find the words for;

My chest overcome

With a pain 

Unrecognizable 

Originating from nowhere;

Surprised 

That I can still breathe 

With this lump in my throat.

 

Fighting 

The tears in my eyes; 

My vision blurred 

By them 

And thoughts of you.

I am lost. 

Endlessly wandering

Where my hands 

Can no longer find the walls. 

I crave 

What I cannot explain;

This something 

That I once held in my hand

Has since flown away, 

Yet hovers so close 

That I am kept awake 

By it's vibrations. 

Attempts at distraction 

Only make

The hands on the clock

Move slower,

Reminding me of a time

When they stood completely still.-
