I lie here awake.
Mind going here and there.
Eyes racing from side to side.
Heart slowing in beats.
Losing my breath with every thought.
Why do you do this?
How do you affect me so?
You entered my life.
Now nowhere to be found.
Stealing my heart.
Capturing my life.
Drawing my every breath.
In amazement towards you.
How do you do it?
Why is it happening?
Your pulling me in.
Now I can't let go.
My mind is consumed.
With these pictures of you.
Losing my hold.
Slipping from time.
Inside I slowly die.
Striving for a smile.
Not this feeling of being down.
When will it end?
Can I ever forget you?
Leave my feelings behind?
Empty my heart?
Erase you from mind?
Become truly happy again?
Like you made me feel?
Is it possible again?
Find it hard to believe.
That I can't let you leave.
I love you.
I do.
Yet you don't love me.
Now this mind.
This heart.
This body.
This soul.
Their broken.
Their scattered.
The pieces?
Who knows?
A puzzle that can't be solved.
Even if all the pieces were found.
I will remain.
Broken and alone.
