Evanescent

   Kissing lips that now lack the warmth they once held. The warmth I once craved and found comfort in. 

   Staring into your icy eyes, the peaceful ocean once held within now long frozen over. Pupils once a large void within the crashing waves now minuscule and uninterested. 

   Your body which once fit perfectly against mine, as though we were made for each other, now feels awkward against my figure. The heat in your skin replaced with a cold touch that makes me shiver. 

   Messages that once represented reciprocated love and soft affection, now short and sharp, practically pricking my fingers as I type my replies. Paragraphs of beautiful emotions now a distant memory.

   Every detail of your face I'd once memorized now hazy. Once so clear and precise, a blurry shape now in its place. The face I had spent so much time taking in and learning was now drained of the happiness it'd once been a vessel for. 
 
   Trying to pull you closer but to no avail. Fingers desperately clawing the air, transparent wisps arising from where my body is supposed to be meeting yours. I try to embrace you but my arms meet empty air and I lose my balance and stumble, falling to the floor with a solid thud. Attempting to get back up, I feel a dull surge of pain throughout my scrawny figure. Some places hurt more than others and I know that they'll surely become bruised before morning. I manage to pull myself to my feet, but you're no longer there. Tears as transparent as your body just was run down my cheeks.
