Letting Myself Go And Loving You

After all, you said
We should be all or nothing

Perhaps a tragedy written in our stars
That while separate minds could think alike
Two hearts could beat as one

But my love
you left without a word
There was no why, no how
Just silence, to mark the end

I miss you during my successes
An achievement unlocked, a firm step forward
Another day closer to the future I had envisioned.

A longing heart is insatiable
It will constantly crave elements
That can keep it in a state of delirium
To relive brief moments of euphoria

When You left me
I increased my dosage.
“More frequent, shorter breaths”
Enough to numb, a little short to kill.

Minutes, hours, days
Would each take a little something away
Each time they passed by

I searched my heart to find the words and phrases synonymous to your name.

“Hallelujah, you’re home.”
