You’re Still Here

Though You Left

You’re Still Here

Silence is an empty sound

Leaving space for something else

Unknowing things creeping through

The walls

The halls

The attic

Descending over me

Feeling of something heavy

Lowers upon my chest

Handcuffs around my arms

Paralysis in my legs

Sadness fills my chest

I remember the fights

Kicking, screaming, trying to get out

I am still underneath you

Despite the fact that you are gone

Memories of what you did

Still live on in the quietest nights

While echoes continue ringing

In the stillest moments

Your improper visitation comes back to me

Regularly

Like a nightmare I will never shake

I love making fun of my emotions, feelings, and thoughts in short form writing such as songs and illustrations. I would like to write longer and more explorative pieces for others to read.
