the pounding in my head,
is only a symptom
of the pounding in my chest,
the heaving of my breaths,
tell me,
all the same thing.
the whisper of the wind
softly caressing my soul tells me
that maybe it's all i have left.
The lights in the tower are dimming,
and the foundation is crumbling in every waking moment.
Sleep, always a constant, reliable.
It takes me to an old familiar place,
a place that i once knew on this earth.
is it really surprising that i wake up gasping,
longing, as the tears that i hate come again,
and i realize that all good things are coming to an end.
what shall we fill the empty spaces where we used to talk with?
what shall i do with the memories of better days?
what can i do to stop caring?
how do i accept the fact that you're never coming back?
i've never been so close with someone,
yet at the same time so far away.
i've never wanted to be so near someone,
yet at the same time avoid.
i miss you.
you know this.
i miss the old you.
but you're never coming back.
Author notes

People note: no break-up happened. this is all in my head. (do you love the fact that i called it a 'people note'?)

Oh my goodness, I can definitely relate to such a feeling of loss and of longing, when in reality its all in your head... magnificent! Oh, and I adore your word choice. Overall, my words fail at describing this.

Great write Jessy!
Very powerful and just really well written. I know that a lot of things are changing for you and I'm very sorry that you have to feel that way. I'm not gonna say I've ever felt the way you do before because I know how annoying that gets, but I'm sure as hell it must be hard.
So like the others said, I'm always here to talk. Whenever.. You've always been there for me, I'm just returning the favor.

I like it! Very powerful, and well written!
On a more personal note, you know I'm here if you need someone to talk to. (And all the way out here, it's not like it's making it back anywhere
)

this was really good. I am pretty sure I know what you're talking about with this. I'm really sorry that some things changed. You truly deserve to just be happy. Just know, that I'm always here for you if you need to talk sometime. c:
