loneliness cannot be heard
in all the words
that leave my tongue
when did I become so numb
in this addictive love
I’ve lost myself and then some
in shining, shimmering moments
in fragments of realities
without given a choice
I still hear your voice
in echoes and shadows
in pages of memories
torn from my mind
please be lost in my past
is all I can ask
and I’ll find my peace
alone here in my aftermath
