I sat there watching you staring off at the distance; the cold wind picked up as the daylight began to fade. You have a look of anticipation and you start humming a little tune. I just sat there in the cold, gathering up the courage to approach you. How you light up the room whenever you appear, the sound of your voice fills up my soul every time you talk to me. I pulled my jacket tighter to ward off the chill and approached you. I stop when you stand up and a stranger pulls you in for a warm embrace and a kiss. My heart stops and shatters. I released a breath I didn’t know I was holding. Both of you walked by.
As you passed me, you gave a smile of greeting. You introduced your lover to me. Every little touch and smile you gave each other was like the knife in my heart twisting oh just a tiny bit as the ache became unbearable. Then you walked away. My world turned dark. I kept replaying this event over and over in my head 8 months later as I sat in the bath tub. Weed, Speed, X, coke, LSD, I’ve done them all. I leave with a different person every night just to get high, to forget you and feel something, yet in the morning I leave their sleeping naked bodies on the bed feeling nothing. Your face still haunts me. I sleep so little that the stars fade into day and each day bleeds into each other. I’m so very tired. I just want to sink into oblivion and finally find peace.
