your eyes held so much warmth
so much comfort
that I could lose myself in them
and forget about everything else
but i wouldn't complain
because i loved the comfort
that you gave me.
you became a part of me,
of my routine, my thoughts,
with every breath,
I would think of your voice
and my body couldn't help
but be lit up by thousands of stars.
I got used to it like muscle memory
my mind has gotten so used to having you there
that I can't imagine what its like
without you there
you linger around everywhere,
with the smallest things reminding me of you
because you were my comfort zone
and I loved it so much that i never wanted to leave
but I guess I've been pushed out of there
and I can't find a way back in
maybe its truly for the best
for me to get out of that zone and explore
the thrill of being free
but I don't want that thrill when i feel like this,
because its not a thrill anymore,
but a coping mechanism,
a rebellion, a retaliation against what you left behind.
