The Void

Picked up a pen and decided

I'd write a few lines or more

I can't seem to find the right words to express everything I feel

So I'll wait till everything I feel can be expressed

In this short story of how you up and left

In the meantime, I'll hold on to these thoughts

You asked me to stay

You said to not look away

I never once looked back

I'll hold on still

Where can I go?

You say it's okay

That I should hold on

So I won't shut down

I'll stay here

You tell me it's okay

To remember all the good times

To close my eyes

See your warm smile

I'll play your game

I won't be mad

Let's draw our cards

I'm all in
