Respiros

it never stops aching

you never stop aching .

i still need you the same

can’t you feel it too?

my idiotic voice searching for your name

hoping you are there to hear it

hoping you maybe feel it too

still

this intertwining that has long stopped

being mine, or yours, or ours

it belongs to something else now

i don’t want another life

another person

another start

i want you

just you

in my arms

your warmth against me

your voice telling me

this had to happen

that all of this meant something

that this sharp, pulsing pain

in the center of my chest

is just your hand

trying to reach me

tell me you are here

tell me you can feel this too

because when i close my eyes

i still see yours

please let it be soon

i don’t want to keep waiting

here

alone
