I’ve never wanted anyone.
Like I’ve wanted you.
A craving deep down in my bones
A need I feel inside my soul
Something I’ve been waiting
My whole life to feel
It’s agony
An emptiness I never knew
Could exist within the person
That I used to be
In the caverns of my heart
A rush, a roar
Of anger
And of fear
Could this be love?
It doesn’t feel how I thought it would
But what do I know?
You stand before me
Dressed in black
Not white
And it’s fitting.
This is where we part
Thank you for the days
Filled with sighs, lies,
and prefilled crossword puzzles
But I’m afraid we’re
Breaking free tonight.
Farewell
and good riddance.
