It Is Death

[seriouslyme]

I smell you,I feel you
But you are merely mist
You died the other day
And I am dead since then.

The door will open
The phone will ring
And for a brief moment
It is you, until the
memory comes flooding.

I can only taste
The salt from my tears
Feel the ache in my chest
And this overwhelming
Sense of gone.

Cannot touch you
Cannot see you
you are like dust swept away
words erased from a page

I am alone now
standing in a crowded room
with everyone but you
and I can't see them

Does your heart still grasp to life
searching frantically for yourself
wanting to breathe, to live
but now you simply drift

I sit in your old chair
the imprint of your soul remains
the sound of your voice
still sounds the same.

Is it better to leave
than to lose?
One day I will know
and I will see you again.-
