Stay

Please, stay. Don't leave me here, alone with my ghosts. Your absence devours me, it drags me into a void that I cannot fill. You hurt me, yes, You broke me, piece by piece, You killed me in ways I can't explain, But my heart is still looking for you. I don't know how to be strong, not without you. I am a lost child, with her hands outstretched towards a fleeing shadow. Come back, please. No matter how much pain you've left behind, It doesn't matter how many tears I shed. Come back, because without you even my breathing seems useless. I'm here, broken but yours, A voice calling you in the dark, A prayer whispered to the wind. Come back, because I miss you too much, and without you, I don't know who I am anymore.
