the moon was bright.
just something that gives off light.
everything felt right.
and my heart felt light.

i woke up.
beside me an empty space.
the spot where.
you used to lay.
is now where.
my love decays.

i stare.
loneliness consumes me.
the tears fall.
emotions cutting through.
this was not.
just phantom pain.

i miss you.
slowly needing you.
how i wish.
i could have just.
held you tight.

but there was no choice.
there was no other way.
there was no option.
but to keep letting go.

letting go of.
what was.

what could have been.
and what should have been.
