I cried out for you today
and was met with the deafening silence
of my pounding heart.
I reached out for you today
and was greeted by
an empty home
that refused to wrap its
arms around me.
I let a tear fall for you today
wishing and hoping
you would gently wipe it from my cheek,
and instead felt it fall off my chin.
Today my cries were
swallowed by an empty room
where I lay with my arms wrapped
tightly around my body, physically
willing myself not to fall apart.
Today, I realized.
You aren't there, and I am
alone.
