"the only traces of you that remain in my heart,
are the words you left unsaid" ~faded blue
dhuhr [mid-afternoon]
I didn't realize the sun had come out,
nor did I realize how long I had been ｗａｌｋｉｎｇ,
But what I did know,
was that time was too short,
for me to push back,
these recurring feelings
of agony and pain.
Even as my feet hit the cement,
even as I put distance between myself,
and the person I was,
it
w
as
n't
enough, to fix the gaping whole inside.
ｓｏｍｅｔｉｍｅｓ I wondered if everything
was a dream, something that I couldn't wake up from.
Because no matter how hard I тяιє∂,
I always found your voice,
following me wherever I went.
