The void in my chest roars in agony as I wake

A hole you left, eons ago, not by malice, but by

Young lovers, dreams quashed by responsibility, life

We left each other behind as we grew into ourselves

The future I wanted is an impossibility

A farce, a sham, a nightmare played by actors in my head

I dare not bloody your wings to keep you curled around me

Though I cannot deny the choke-hold you have around my heart

Our timelines converge just as I think I'm finally past you

Ready to start my life without you, I start feeling your presence

Move on, you say, find bliss and peace without me,

How can I, when I know you'll be back time after time?

Do I cling to my love of you unnecessarily?

Have I been too needy, too hopeful

Too smothering, too resentful

Too envious of the way you look at her?

Do you still think of me, as I do you?

Does your heart pound faster in your chest when you see my name?

Do your thoughts still race about what could have been?

Or am I alone in my sorrow?
