reach out and touch the 
space 
I used to occupy beside you
 
wrap your longing arms around the
emptiness 
in your bedsheets
 
i wonder if my footsteps left 
imprints
on the itch of your carpeted floor
 
do your sad eyes try to focus on my 
silhouette 
no longer there in the dark?
 
i wish for you to 
breathe 
better now that we don’t share oxygen
 
inhale and you will no longer 
take 
   parts 
      of 
         me 
            with 
                you.
