Drifting

Illusions are my world now

They’re all I’ll ever know

There’s no reality without you

No up or down, no gravity

Day and night no longer matter

My curtains are all closed

If I open them the sun will come

Piercing my dull retinas

Reminding me of you

Because you were the light

Counter to my darkness

The yang completing yin

Before you I felt whole

Then after somehow halved

Like you took something from my soul

Something crucial

Yet unnamable

A thing I only found

Once it was absent

A perfect metaphor for you

And the fact I never saw

Just how crucial that you were

When you were still here
