Exist

His voice and words fade from my mind
traces feeling like a false imprint
something imagined
like everything else I wished for once

In pure frustration
I attempt to leave it all behind
forget he ever existed
twist his image into something distant

until he reaches out to touch me again

...

In horror I realise

this was where I never wanted to be again
waiting
to feel alive

from a person not here
a person that cannot satisfy my longing to live
as long as I refuse
to be alive
when alone
