All I have left
Are the pieces you left behind
That you didn't care for
I've salvaged every single piece
Inhaling the memories
And exhaling the loneliness
For just a moment
I let everything around me vanish
Close my eyes and just
Remember
Craving for times that no longer wait for me
Promising to pause time won't solace me
But allowing me to return with the scraps you left
Keep me alive
No longer existing for the sake of "what ifs" am I
But yearning for the day that find something...more
I chuckle at this "more"
Because I don't know what it's supposed to be
Yet I live for it
When I'm reminiscing on times we had
I'm not without my hope
But I am quite familiar with the embrace of Despair
She has open arms for those who have nothing left
I almost adored her bittersweet scent
But those pieces left behind
Pulled me back to the stench of reality
And the smooth texture of hope
Dear, you may have packed your things
And said goodbye
But what you thought was garbage
Keeps the memories of the essence of you
Alive
