i feel you in rain
the reins on my neck
the void in my pain
i feel your skin
in memory’s grain
the quiet bruise of tonight
i laugh in your stare
the empty, the gaze
the devotion that once held
it echoes in glass
in static
in every place i swore i left you
you reach a point
where everything drifts from here
the moment it broke
the moment we took
the moment i chose
to stop the pain
of how you wanted it
how i designed it to be
yet design is cruel
it never forgets the curve
of what was once real
i built walls around your ghost
and called them peace
still, some nights
when the rain hums low
i feel you pull
not back to me
but through me
and i let it
because even emptiness
feels like something
when it carries your name
