Void

The demons are awake

Retracing my fate

I’m killing myself

In a slow debate

I think of the times

My anxieties would rest

When all of my face was 

Buried in your chest

Do you see these scars 

That your love has painted

I crave to heal them

As they were never been tainted

Your kisses now adorn

Every inch of me on bound 

They comfort me on nights

When you’re not around 

I want to look at you 

With a distant longing 

To find my heart, the peace

Your smile used to bring 

Now that you’re gone

and I don’t know why

But that very thought

Still makes me cry

Will there be a time?

Somewhere down the line

Where I don’t have to miss you

Or consider you as mine

My heart had been misguided

To think you’ll be there

Now there’s an enormous void

Deep deep down somewhere 

In this night’s embrace 

I console myself 

If you’re okay 

I’ll be okay too
