<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">It’s my favourite part </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">The looks of realization </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">The overwhelming presence of forgetfulness </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">When I leave I don’t simply walk away</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">I always leave a huge black hole where I once laid</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">And now you will be left all alone with the void</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">As many men before you have learned to live with </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">It cannot be filled with another </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">It cannot be replaced by a new passion</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">Even I, myself, cannot fill this void for you </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">Because once I have gotten up </span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">It’s extremely hard to get me seated again</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">And you’ll walk around and see me everywhere </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">You’ll wish you held my hand instead of your phone </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">The silence won’t feel the same without me around</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">I hope it swallows you whole</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">And you realize </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">What you have left in the dust </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><span data-contrast="auto">Was the only thing that made you feel alive in the first place </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>I don’t want to keep going. I’ve been low before but I’ve
never felt so hollow and empty; worthless. My body follows my mind and shuts
down with it. I know I am capable of loving who I am but I feel, right now, like
I am no one, like I am nameless. Searching my mind for reasons to stay every
day and the list continues to grow shorter and shorter. And I remember losing
you and I remember how it felt to me; I don’t wish that on anyone I love. But I
also remember how easy it seemed. One day you were here and the next day you just
weren’t. Like a breeze. </p>



<p>Some days I want to join the wind with you. </p>
