Homesick

Take me back.

To the place I love.

To the place I know.

To the only place that has ever felt like home.

The hole

There’s a hole in my heart.

A hole you used to fill.

My body aches trying to fix the hole you left.

But there’s no point.

We both know I’ll never be over you.

I convince myself I’m over you.

Sometimes I feel as if I am.

Free to do as I wish, not busy thinking of what you’re doing.

But then I see you again, and our eyes meet.

All of the feelings I’ve been ignoring rush back over, me like a tsunami,

and I find myself drowning.

Drowning in the waves.

Drowning in your eyes.

Drowning in my feelings.

In too deep to be saved.
