Remember Me. (Come Back To Me.)
I cannot write if it's not about you.
I cannot think of anything but you.
I cannot sleep without dreaming of you.
I miss you.
The black void
yawns before me.
I go to it, arms open
as if for a warm embrace.
I left and you left
and now I am nothing.
You are no longer my home
so I've made a new one
from the darkness in my head.
You tookandtookandtook
and I gaveandgaveandgave.
You took every good piece of me.
I hope you're happier now.
I hope I helped
in some small way.
I hope every time you smile
that smile that used to be
just for me
you remember me.
Every time you're touched
and come alive
instead of drawing back
you remember me.
Maybe each time
you remember me
a piece of me will return,
a light in the dark,
vivid color,
a puzzle coming together.
Remember me.
Give me back to myself.
I loved you.
I hate you.
I love you.
I miss you.
Come back to me.
