i was alone today
and i stared at the path
the path we usually sat on
laughing about whatever was relevant
and when i thought of you
it felt like someone had my heart in their hands
and in their hands they applied as much pressure as possible
until it felt like my heart was in my throat
and fresh tears sprung to my eyes
threatening to spill out
but i told myself
no
and closed my eyes
and tried to forget
forget that you aren't here
and you never will be.
