what am I to do now?
the sheer amount of you
there is in me will make it
impossible to live.

how can I cut myself off
from your gaze when your
eyes follow me in every moon
and every sun?

how can i begin to forget you
when your voice haunts me in
every leaf rustling and every
bus screeching?

what am I to do now?
the memories of you I carry
with me now threatening to
drown me.

what good would it do to
erase all those photos and videos
if your face is the background
of my mind?

what could I hope to accomplish in
trying to forget you if my blood
rushes and my bones all tremble
at the mere thought of you?

where do I put down all this weight?
how do I swallow all this grief?
how can I be without you,
if you're in everything?
what can I be without you,
if you're my everything?
