losing us

swimming
in a glass
half empty.
and i’m losing you.

the space between us
growing ever more 
apart.

but
as i lose you
i lose myself. 

and i can’t touch
i 
can’t feel
how i 
loved you.

it seems so
far away now.

how it felt 
to be in sync
with every heartbeat.

but now
i’m just trying to remember how it felt
to have a heartbeat. 

i can see
your figure
blurred
around the edges. 

but your eyes
deep,
deep hazel,

and your hands, 
quivering,
trying to feel
anything
again. 

it feels
real,
what i see
but 
i can’t touch it.

it’s not really 
you.

i’m losing us.

mere ghosts
in 
a story 
that will never 
retell
itself.
