To Be Again

These days have grown so heavy,
every hour feels like a year.
And eternity’s a punishment
I’m forced to sit and hear.
I’m trying to make peace
with the pieces left of me,
but nothing feels familiar
in the man I used to be.

And I keep falling through the memories,
like they’re the only place I breathe.

I miss you,
but I miss the man I was with you even more.
I’m drowning in the quiet,
in the emptiness you left inside my door.
I want to feel alive again,
to recognize my skin
I want to be the one I was,
I want to learn
to be again.

I don’t want to chase replacements,
or pretend you never stayed.
You’re stitched into my better self
and into every mistake I made.
I’m falling down a darkness
that seems bottomless tonight,
but maybe all this breaking
is the start of getting right.
And I keep sinking into silence,
trying to find a place to land.

I miss you,
but I miss the man I was with you even more.
I’m drowning in the quiet,
in the emptiness you left inside my door.
I want to feel alive again,
to recognize my skin
I want to be the one I was,
I want to learn
to be again.

I don’t want to stay this hollow,
I don’t want the hurt to win.
I just want a single moment
where my heart feels like it fits.
I don’t need you to return,
I don’t need another end
I just need a reason strong enough
to want to breathe again.

I miss you,
but I’m trying to remember who I am.
I’m learning through the quiet
that healing doesn’t come on command.
I want to feel alive again,
to recognize my skin—
I want to be the one I lost,
I want to learn
to be again.
