I am a shell of a person

filled with hellos I have never said

with messages I have never sent

with 'I love yous' I have kept.

I am a shell of a person,

that relied happiness 

on something that may be lost;

that let a glance,

stain my pale cheeks

with warm blood:

that would a certain person

make the air my lungs

escape my mouth.

I am a shell of a person

who shared those secrets

with no one but the stars.

And those words spoken,

only in my mind,

was meant

for you.

(k.e. queen)
