Chasing Grief

Hallucination

Hallucination

May 07, 2023

I think I saw you across the street 
My heart stopped for a second, it did 
But like I always do, I ran to you in a heartbeat 
But you were gone just like that, you left me in need

I try to find you in all the faces of the people 
On the streets, in the stores, and in my dream 
Even in the images distorted by a ripple 
Or in the air as the train leaves behind a steam

How surreal must you look like inside my head 
For you to appear every chance that you get 
"I must be mad. What do I do?" I said 
I have no saving grace, nor is there a safety net

How long must I keep chasing after you? 
I grapple with time for the memories you left behind 
I cannot lose you again, though the past I cannot undo 
Through your traces in life, death's angel I shall bind

I know you're gone. I know you might never return. But something inside me triggers when I see anything remotely related to you. Even in your absence, you take my breath away; you make my heart skip a beat. It's been so long. Not a part of you in me shall be taken ever again.
