he's gone.... he's gone for good

[cutelittleabbie]

your voice didn't leave after you walked out,
it's trailing me and my every move.
it keeps the lids of my eyes open through out the night,
it no longer holds me up, it pushes me against the floor...
breaking each part of me, crushing my ribcage...
beneath it is nothing, it no longer holds my heart..
it isn't a piece of shiny armor, you can no longer protect me.
finding myself upon the floor,
sweeping up the tears and
letting myself let go.
protecting myself from the outside in,
whisper words of hope, yearning for my ears to hear.
lift up my spirits, bring me to my feet.
i am tangled in my own pity,
i am no longer wrapped inside your love..
my bones are chilled without you,
but i am creating a thicker skin,
mending it to the creases of my body.
sewing each piece of the new me so firm
the warmth will stay through winter.
