Replaced

You should be here

Laying beside me

Listening to my heart beat

Matching my breaths 

Dreaming of what’s to come

Goals and aspirations, all of the things people dream of

Everything everyone prays for

But you are not here

Your spot has been filled

Your voice no longer echoes inside of my ears

Even your touch seems foreign to my bare skin

We walked hand and hand towards unknown places

Casted down enemies, wanna be’s, perpetrators

Anyone who wanted to see us fail

Laid wasted at our feet

Kissing the ground that we walked

Where ever you go I shall surely follow

Those were the words that you said to me

That was your promise

Your truth to me

I believed you

I bathed in your words, and your beliefs

Turned away from false pretense just so I could make sure that I did not miss your teachings

Your presence, that touch, that burned my soul

That sent cold sickening chills down my aching spine

Freezing me to my core, while numbing my flesh

My tears froze mid cheek, I could pull them off of my face

And hand them to you, and watch them melt from the warmth of your hands

There was a time when all I could see was you

My first love, my only love

The keeper of my heart

The who possessed my soul

I was tamed by your charm

Hypnotized by your words

I can still hear you say my name

Please remind me why our love was so deep

Remind me why your restraints had me bound and grounded

It took me many years to realize that your love was not forever

It became a bad taste in my mouth

A withdrawal that I welcomed

Not even medicine could take away this feeling

There isn’t even a single word that can describe our love

Yet still

You should be here

In the darkness

Laying right beside me

Dreaming with me

Repairing what has been damaged

Or rather misplaced

Yet you are not

Someone else is

Now
