“I’m still learning how to be mine.”


My heart aches for you my love

Everywhere I look I feel the void

You're gone

 

And no matter what I do

I still feel the pain in my chest

All consuming

 

Like a whirlwind collecting the autumn leaves

The void spins all around

Picking up all the things that made me happy, and turning them dark

Devouring them

 

I keep my eyes closed

Because I don't want to see the world if you're not in it

Even the brightest of flowers have lost their beauty, their color

 

I feel guilty when I have stopped crying 

For it means I have slowed my breathing 

Without your help

But no matter what,

 

I am sad without you

And my smile will never be the same

Because nothing else will ever compare to you

 

And the warmth in your embrace

The music in your laughter

The world that lived in your big, brown eyes

I wrote this a few days after my first relationship ended. I find that writing is very helpful and therapeutic, so this is what came from one of my moments of reflection.
