I love you

The words

They lack meaning 

Yet they continue to repeat 

 

Like tapping on a drum

Melodic and timed

Yet so imperfect

 

Empty sounds of years replaying 

Ive said a million times 

Yet it still means nothing 

 

A rhythm matching my heart

Heavy it weighs in my chest

Yet there's no life, no pulse

 

There's no more love in

"I love you"

    Retract and hide

    I've recently found myself back in my shell

    Pretending to be someone I'm not

    And I think I know why.

     

    I've pulled back from people 

    Only interacting with animals and strangers online

    Radio silence

    I'm opening my phone

    To nothing 

    No messages, no emails, no missed calls,

    All I'm getting is radio silence 

     

    The sinking feeling in my heart returned

    The one where you know something is wrong

    By Bee.Lover

    It's dark out now.

    Stinging my eyes

    The tears come

    Pouring down

    Relentlessly.

    Still breathing 

    Still warm

    Yet dead 

    To me

    And me alone.

    Grief floods me

    Again 

    I'm drowning
