Her

Dear Daylight,

        I gaze at the stars as winter flakes begin to fall. I feel oh so hollow now that I am alone. To be honest its almost a good feeling. When you force yourself to tear your heart away from someone it hurts, real bad. You feel the tears wash over you like a mighty ocean wave and you let it drag you out to sea. You can feel your chest heave with heavy breaths trying to stay a float until a headache takes over your thoughts and you sink.  If you survived that much the worst has yet to come. The nothingness is what hurts the most. When you feel so much your body can't handle it anymore so it shuts down.  Hollow echoes of empty feelings get caught in your head like a fly in a web. I hear footprints behind me and the most beautiful wisper that sends chills up my spine. Perhaps it was nothing but the breeze and the hope that's just now coming back to me. I wait and wait and wait. When I can not brave the chilly night any longer I look in the snow. I see footprints and I know to whom they belong. I wish he only dared to walk a footprint more.
