Wandering these halls Feels like walking through memories. Each more painful than the last. Sometimes I hear fragments of your voice; Happily bouncing through the air. My name rolling off the tip of your tongue Just how it used to. Then I turn- Only to be greeted by a face that isn't yours. Only to be brought back to this cruel reality This truth. That nothing will ever be the same. Every happy memory made without you Cannot compare to the ones we made together. Every smile that now breaks across my face. Will never be as wide as the ones only you could garner. I surround myself with people Trying to push you away. To move on- just as you did. But how can I comes to terms with reality When every fiber of my body longs for the past? How can I push you away When all I want to do is pull you closer? How can I fill this emptiness When you're the only person I want filling it? How can I ever find myself When I'm lost without you? And so I wander, lost in these bittersweet memories. A ghost in my own life. Haunted by what was, And all that will never be. You’re the echo I can’t escape, The shadow I can never outrun- The chapter of my life I can't close, No matter how hard I try to move on.
