I tip toe inside carefully
the room feels empty and cold without you here
abandoned
your faded teddy bear sleeps on your bed
your pink sheets already seem duller
there's still piles of smelly clothes on the floor
it's the same way you left it
I haven't been brave enough to touch a thing
the whole house feels lonely
without you
at least you're happy
I can deal with it
as long as you come back to visit

it stretches my face apart
not unlike the plates,

pulling at my jaw,
cheeks,
lips,
until finally
my whole demeanor
has been compromised,
"We ignite not in the light, but in lack thereof,
For it is in loss that we truly learn to love."*
When we can feel,
All that is no longer there,
the doors
are left open
for him
to walk through
and brightly lit
with all
he will ever need
when beside him
there is a girl
stumbling through
a dark hall
unable to find her way
