Outstretched, heightened..
My hands can barely reach you anymore
From the oasis of your love
All I see now are the glimpses of nothing
In this barren desert of loss
Your memories light up like stars at night
Illuminating a sea of nothing
By scattered specks of lost joys
My body, tired of wandering across the sands
Still can't sleep in the shadows of dead hope
Nor succumb to the vultures waiting
How did this happen?
Us?
Did the angel really take you away?
Because I can't seem to get rid of your thoughts
Your words, your love
Are you in a happy place now?
I hope so dear.
Just don't look back and smile, like every time you did.
