Drifting

Lost Without You

By Brian HenPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

My chest feels hollow

The waves keep pulling me farther away

I reach out for the shore

But my fingers touch nothing but air

The sun glimmers above me

A world so close, yet out of reach

Every breath burns heavier

Every heartbeat sinks deeper

I once thought you were my compass

Guiding me through endless storms

But now I drift without direction

A fragile vessel in an endless sea

The silence is deafening

No gulls, no wind, no whispers

Just the ache of everything I’ve lost

And the weight of what I cannot forget

I close my eyes and surrender

Let the current take what’s left of me

Still, somewhere in the distance

I never lose sight of the horizon’s light
