The stars dancing,
With no other care in this universe,
Dying and living,
Constant, yet always changing,
And we're so unaware,
I always ask myself,
Why do I always end up here?
I can never sleep on nights like this,
Self-doubt and insecurities swim freely in my chest,
Holding me steady,
Like an anchor to my empty bed,
Your voice echoes loud and clear in my ears,
A steady heartbeat flat lined,
Only your shadows follow me now,
Your scent left on a dirty pillow,
My dreams only carry me to memories,
Floating in a fantasy,
Where you once lived,
But don't anymore,
My dreams are an empty shell,
They are a house unlived,
A meal not eaten,
A memory forgotten.
