I have no words for what I need to say
I have no understanding for why I live each day
I cannot let go and it’s not because I refuse to
It’s because each place is haunted by memories of you
The inside jokes that I cannot tell
The way my pillow still has your smell
The mundane and all the rest
The way I used to lay my head upon your chest
Your heartbeats lullaby
The silence makes me cry
The little things that mean so much
The absence of your touch
Empty spaces where the pictures used to be
A reflection of the emptiness inside me
How selfish of you to take it all away
Would it have killed you to stay?
I could have mourned a death more easily
Instead you asked I set you free
Free as if I kept you captive
You were always free to live
