Don't even dare think it
if you were gone
but my heart can't think hypothetically
it is already there
in the moments after you've left
Good bye or no Good bye
the circumstances irrelevant for now
I stand, unable to move         
in a spotlight of oozing tears
feeling  every kiss that will never be kissed
and mourning every touch  once felt
grieving for endless possibilities
of a vast future that collapsed
in a single moment
and shatters around me into fragments
that no amount of longing can put
back together.

If you were gone
my heart would rupture and bleed
to what would feel like almost death
it would scream your name
for nobody to hear

I would send my soul out
into the universe to find you
and it would
it would

If you were gone
I would live rooted to the spot
and find you still
because for now
anything else is inconceivable.
