Restless

Slowly consuming me
I fight to remember
All the reasons
Why I should stay
I find none

Distancing myself
From people and things
That I can't hold onto
For more than a minute 
I can't breathe

Closing my eyes
My brain screams
For what I can't have
To hold me together
My heart stops

Listen closely
To what I can't say
Because you will
Always remember
The silence

Before I slip away
A last look around
The nothingness
I fell into
Without you

I tried not to
Love you and
I tried to
Let you go
I couldn't

Pushing you away
Brought you closer
To the edge
On the other side
Of my life

Reaching for you
Everything in me
Fell away
While the walls grew
Too tall to leap over

Hold out your
Hand to me
Together
We can jump
Into the abyss
