nostaglia

i've always tried to avoid nostalgia.

the emptiness it leaves you with is something horrific.

nothing else can match it.

no matter if its a good or bad memory,

you're always left feeling empty

a harrowing feeling burrowing deep into my soul,

i am left with nothing but the shell of myself,

and a memory of how things used to be.

a feeling of emptiness,

knowing there is something that i cant get back,

and a place i took for granted which leaves me with regret

maybe instead of flight or teleportation,

i would choose the ability to freeze time.

anything to linger in your presence,

to be able to look at you just a while longer.

but maybe the emptiness i feel will dissipate,

maybe one day i'll realise what it all means,

it'll all make sense, and i'll realise everything actually is okay.

maybe nostalgia will be something i can enjoy again.
