The night you left


The night you left, I felt an ache in my body I knew would last a lifetime

The night you left, my chest caved in and I though i was going to suffocate

The night you left, I tried to crub every inch of you off of my body I made myself bleed

And thats when I realized...

I could not remove you from my body because you are embedded in me

I could not cleanse off the traces you left with your fingertips

I could not scrub away the feeling of your lips pressed against mine

You surge through my veins day and night never stopping so I can catch my breath

But you arent just in one place..

You come along with every step I take

You are the su that warmed up my life

You are the wind that made me feel like I could fly

You are the stars that showed me light in my darkest places

You, are you..

And when the day comes to where I no longer feel you coursing through my veins, I will be free of you

But not on earth like you may think

But walking in the clouds entering another lifetime

And maybe in that lifetime things wont end so heartrending
