You are staring at your reflection
living in memories and blurred mascara lines
that stain your skin
a visible reminder that you are still drowning
without him.
You are desolate
decayed
waiting on rain in the desert with your heart at your fingertips,
reaching for something,
anything
to ease the burning hole in your chest
that surges like the sea but never reaches the surface,
trapped and drowning behind the dense cage you’ve pretended to lock yourself in.
Escape is out of reach
but so close that you can taste it on your tongue
like the salt that pours from your eyes at midnight
when all the lights have vanished and the darkness creeps in
the shadows burn the closer they get to your heart.
