arms

the you-shaped space

September 19, 2020 / simonsalento / Leave a comment

the you-shaped space within my arms

aches my chest with emptiness

soon? one day? it is all unknown

I felt sad

September 2, 2015 / simonsalento / 2 Comments

I felt sad but in a good way
in a hug way
in a soft warm blanket way
 
In a holding way
in a closed eye way
in a your arms around me way
 
I felt sad
but then that did not matter

I have no words

I have no words to calm you, no words to soothe you, no words to change the past for better.
I have my silence and my arms and they are yours forever.
