I just want to know
What was going through
Your head
That night you found out
Did it destroy you
Unmake you
You spent a lot of time
After
Searching
For what
In the end
I’m not sure
You thought you found
What you were looking for
Somewhere in the past
But it slipped from your mind
Your soul
An insect freed
From the clasped hand
Never remembers
What it was like
To be held between
Alone is waiting
With bated breath
For life to happen before you
Alone is the face in the mirror
The stranger you once recognized
Staring back vacantly
Alone is all the ways you wanted to love
Those words left unspoken
Time that passes
Into silent oblivion
Blurring from one day
To the next
Ceaselessly
