it's come across again

when you can't

be here

and i'm heavy

from doing nothing

and feeling everything

emotions weighing 

down my limbs

as if they're filled 

with water

just a constant lack

of productivity and motivation

even for the things i love

and your absence

though perhaps you cannot 

help it

just adds rocks 

which sink down

and make it all the worse

and the hardest thing about it 

is i see you see me

yet whether you can talk

or not

i know i could save myself 

the pain

of waiting

but instead 

i'll choose to torture

myself again and again

out of love

and misery

and if it's love for you

or the water

in my bones

i will not know
