The imprint you left.
Just a soul-shaped blackness in this weather-worn heart.
An unexpected aching from platonic roots.
Life lurching to neverwhere,
Incomprehensible without you.
Impossible emotions building to crescendo,
Filling the silence with vacant dreams.
Flickering candles.
Cast hollow shadows in the cold, damp dark.
Lumineers in the background,
Singing fairytale dreams of your heart.
Echoing moments that we shared as allies,
Adventures in light, darkness and lies,
Never knowing how you felt.
Until you were there no more.
In a heartbeat I know,
That in another place, another time,
Had our worlds collided,
And lives would have meshed.
But right now,
In this time,
This place,
You're gone, without another word.
As I look back, crestfallen,
Unexpectedly heartbroken.
The fragility of our glass friendship,
Shattered on the floor.
How could I forsee,
Never knowing how you felt?
Thinking you'd always be close.
Until you were there no more.
