Ever since I made you fade out of my life

Sometimes when you leave someone
Even after you've let them go
Your hands still grip at nothingness
In expectation of something
That is no longer there like you always thought it would be
With your muscles tensed,
And you don't know it yet
But you've just saved yourself
Even if you feel like you're being crushed under the weight
Of nothingness
This is how I feel, at times
