The Only Thing That's Left Is Being Interlinked Poem by Aradia Stellar

I wish I could crawl into the skin you have as your own
I wish I could find you in any place you call your home

This longing goes as far as you let me breathe
My own worst enemy lives inside this invisible chain
I will take it and finish all of me once again

I learned to talk as I listened to you speak
Every interaction made me bleed
never really did believe in anything
Now your name is written on my brain
The only God I know exists

This earth made me weak
Oh, how could I be anything
as long as you are not here
I used to grip myself to everything that I loved
For a time, I thought that was my biggest sin

Look at me, please, I will plead
giving up everything for nothing real
Do you know I forgot all that I was taught
The only thing that's left is being interlinked
to the hope and faith of a silhouette I see next to me
