My sad song

I'll write the saddest verses tonight
in lieu of crying the saddest of tears

I wasted hundreds of kisses on you
though the night, my only witness

those nights were intense
and even more immense without you

to think I've lost my nook
to feel I've lost you forever

I even lost my breath
I even held the sigh

a melancholic knot clenched inside my throat
it hasn't let me cry

I make my body still
and my mind just follows

I am no longer the same
after your touch made me spiral

lost verses in my mind
found only by your presence
writing through my pen

my smile a contradiction
like the voice inside your head

the day I soak my eyes
is the day the glass is empty

I'll weep in my own solitude
falling in the silhouette of my own lifeless body

these sad verses are the last
I'll write out loud for you

I'll occupy these empty spaces
once filled with thoughts of you
with precious times unbroken by the loss of you.
