Just out of reach.

I uttered you to the wind and the feeling died inside. I let it escape me, no longer letting it bottle up inside. This exodus is welcome as I no longer long to be corrupted by you. I take this emptiness with open arms as it fills me unwillingly. Against my wants or wishes it consumes me. Replaces the corridors of my soul that echoed your vision. You're just a stamp on the wall among old stickers of past lovers. Nothing more but a flash of light that blinds my past looking eyes. The openness of which I feel comes in your absence and I embrace it like a long lost friend. Lonesome nights and lonely days aren't ended with your presence, for you cast a shadow longer than I can imagine. Lost in the darkness I fall into silence, uttering nothing more than a gasp in the night. Air fills my lungs and that same air escapes like you did once I uttered your name. Disappeared from my bosom, away from my touch, you ran. You will remain a wish, a failed attempt, a wasted breath. You remain.
