I miss you--
these words float through my mind
like a gentle breeze,
steal my breath.
I cannot stand the thought of life without you,
and the memories come rushing back. . .

I miss you--
without you I am nothing.
a forfeit soul.
You said you would always be there for me,
even though you can't be.
You are empty of the life I crave.

I miss you--
not the you that you have become. . .
the you that you were.
I wish nothing more than
to lose myself in your eyes.
Blank eyes.
Cold skin.

I miss you--
I was yours, and you were mine.
Destined to be shattered by time and consequence.
Living life through a distorted cloud of remembrances.
Broken.

I miss you--
Do you miss me too?
Does this ache mean nothing?
Did you even know I loved you?
Did you know?
Could you?

I miss you.
