LOVE x LOST

Man

Why… why did you leave me?

I am alone.

Lost without you.

I wake and still feel your presence.

I reach for you—

Nothing.

You left me here.

And I hate that I still love you.

A breeze touches my face…

Soft…

Familiar.

It carries your scent.

And I cry all over again.

Why…

Why did you leave me?

Woman

Why…

Why are you ignoring me?

I am here.

Beside you.

I lie with you at night.

I hold you when you cry—

Or I try.

My arms pass through you.

My hands cannot reach you.

Look at me.

Say my name.

Please…

Make me whole again.

I never left you.

So why…

Why are you ignoring me?

Reaper

Why…

Why, you ask?

Your heart called to me.

It burned so brightly…

Even I could feel it.

Your love enticed me.

Her soul set me aflame. 

And now—
