Poetry: If you were gone

How do you feel?
Agitated.
Do you often feel agitated?
No. Recently I just feel disjointed,
temperamental, inconsistent.
What makes you feel this way?
Life.
What stops it?
Him.
Tell me about him.
He helps me,
pulls me from the depths of my wallowing heart,
with just a word.
Which word?
Any word. It's not his words.
It's his voice.
His voice?
Yes.
No.
Tell me...
It's his presence.
When I'm with him he draws me away
and cocoons me,
protects me from the world.
When do you feel disjointed, temperamental?
When he's not there.
Where is he?
Gone.
My sanity goes with him.

    I'd count the stars till you came back

    I'd sit until the shadow of the night sky

    On My Own

    I tried to erase you from my mind,
    But you, I always find.

    These memories, impossible
