It has been like this for a while and
since you have been gone all I can do
is have enough strength to put on a
facade-worthy smile.
I would lie alone staring at the empty space
beside me that you once tenderly occupied
and now my eyes are open and no tears
fall.
I have been this way for a while, days blur
into a foggy haze, and through the
gloom with my eyes wide open, my
heart screaming out for you, my mind
is tormented by a green fairy once
known as rest.
As time goes on and my wounds start to
heal, I realize that as you have truly
left, you have been gone since the day
we met.
