I.
My eyes have forgotten how to shine
where they hid so perfectly behind the shadows.
My body is covered from waist to feet
holding in the warmth
that has left me since you walked out the door
without regret or thought to what you were doing to me.
Your form had filled the doorway
for only a brief moment
as your shadow walked a long side you
when you left my beside for the last time that night.
I always thought you'd come back
with your eyes smiling back at me.
II.
I don't know why I've always
gone running back to your closed arms
or why everytime i beat myself up over it
though those eyes are still illuminating over everything.
And even when I'm crying into my blankets
I'm still smiling from the inside out without notice to it.
But you're becoming this pain so deep inside,
killing me slowly and ever so carelessly.
You never seem to notice
how dim my eyes have become.
III.
I always wondered why I cried so easily
on those mornings when I'd wake up without you.
but maybe it was because everything you screamed at me
always cut the deepest into my heart.
You've made me helplessly weak[for you;for your touch]
and you're not so open now,
closing off what I've always known
and the doors to the feeling that's always come from the heart.
I died a little inside when goodbye escaped from your lips.

thank you sweetie.
im getting to that happy point.
getting over him and moving on is hard, considering how long and how close we really are.
but im working on it.
it's easier to see him and think about him...and yeah.
