Emptiness Is a Closet Full Of Your Old Clothes

When everything feels empty

I rely on empty touch

To ignore the days

That I hate myself and I miss you too much

And everyone feels cold

When they lack something familiar

There was light trapped where the Sun was

This is harder than I thought

I will always look for you in the quiet empty nothing

Where you were convinced

There was only dark and the sharpest objects

I saw your coat I saw it like a martyr sees its body

I saw your coat like the shadow

Of a ghost that wouldn't leave here

I saw your coat hanging in surrender like a white flag

I saw your coat and I hate this

This is harder than I thought
