Something Lost

I feel like something has vanished. 

My chest is so hollow that it has become the home, 

a home for all of the lost causes, misplaced love, and damaged goods. 

I walk around with that feeling when you're going on vacation,

and you feel like you're missing something even though verified that nothing is absent. 

I feel like that instant when someone tells you something, 

and it is just so unreal that it felt like discovering a new color,

and you just feel like you could dissolve into a pile of ashes. 

I feel like I'm drowning in the middle of the desert,

that no quantity of water could mend the sense that I'm gasping for air. 

I feel like no hug, 

or number of series, 

or slices of cake,

or amount of hours laying in bed

will fill my cave with sunlight, 

and I have no idea why.

Your voice creates such a dark music in this haunting place. How you feel such emptiness, such lostness, and the worst thing is you can't sense the why, so you can't find the key to get out. Lost forever in this shadowed Wonderland. So beautifully sad. xo

Thank you for taking the time to read this. My writing is definitely the place where I let myself go.

I'm very glad you have this gift, Mily. Writing keeps me sane, or at least keeps me from going completely mad. xo
