Memories



I can see you,

I can feel you,

I can hear you.

You are no longer here,

But I understand why you are not here now.

Here, with me.

 I don't know what to do

I just sit and wait

I've lost my voice, I can't speak

My feet don't lift off the ground, they're stuck in cement

My heart is frozen and broken

I'm a piece of ice, a block of ice
