should you ever leave
all air will void from this room
all days will follow
& i won’t know what to be
this hell on earth behind thee
if i hold this space
& leave the light on for you
fain would you come home
should you not return
with hope or fire’s foreboding
into pinpricked night
would i not slingshot myself
to find you & bring you home
if i never pray
i might never say goodbye
fain never lose you
should i lose my way
ghost into pain with a smile
then remember me
bid thee well a dying sun
circle an emergent moon
if i plead the void
to swallow the void in me
fain would i be free

This filled with sadness, reminds me of ancient Chinese poetry, strange, but has resemblance. Enjoy reading it and feeling it.
