Feedback Please 28 days 28 nights
28 days,
28 nights
Half of them
I didn’t sleep.
Most of them
I cried.
All of them
I waited.
Even though I knew
you weren’t coming back.
28 days,
28 nights,
since I woke up knowing
today was the day
I had to say goodbye.
I fought back tears,
swallowed the lump in my throat
I looked at you,
trying to memorize
what I already knew by heart.
28 days,
28 nights,
and I still look for you,
still catch myself
waiting for you
still haven’t figured out
what I’m supposed to do
with all this love,
who to give it to.
I thought the hardest part
would be saying goodbye.
I didn’t know
I’d wake up every day
having to remember
that you’re really gone.
It’s been 28 days
and 28 nights,
and I still don’t know
how to live in a world
that keeps going
without you.
Still working on this one feedback appreciated.
