yesterday

yesterday

shortness of breath.
I feel softness in the dark.
is it you?
are our hands intertwining,
have I found what was lost?
the softness is gone.
replaced with cold, harsh air.

I want to speak.
I want to call your name.
my voice is caught in my throat,
I stand alone.

the blackness engulfs
every last hope
until there is nothing to spare.
nothing to...share.
it just isn't fair,
I almost can't bear,
the pain that I feel is beginning to
tear.

it rips at my heart,
it torments my soul,
and I miss you,
I miss you,
how could you leave?
you arrived with a smile,
I gave you my life,
and you stepped away,
lost to the night.

did you mean to break me?
did you mean to claw at my mind so
ruthlessly, so terribly,
and steal the love I could have given?
because if you did,
you succeeded.

my thoughts will not stop,
they only want you,
it's so wrong but they insist,
it's only you which they miss.
give me a chance,
a shot in the dark,
I'll do what I can,
just don't leave
a mark.

a scar.
what do you call it?
when my skin is not torn,
but my heart has been scorned?
I suppose you don't care.
why else would I be in the dust?

you left, you left.
and despite what my head tells me,
despite all this craze,
I just do not love you,
like I did yesterday.
