A letter to her

I don’t think you get it

This feeling of despair and desperation is eating its way through me

I need it back

I know I don’t say this often but I need your help

It has been gone for a long time

Yes it’s always been there

No it doesn’t have a name

I don’t remember where it went

Do you get this?

It has the power to get me up in the morning and to do what i love

There aren’t any words for this feeling of nothingness

The emptiness inside me is painful beyond belief

Please help

I need you

Please help me find it

No one ever showed me the manual on how to move on without it

Maybe i deserved this for not appreciating it before

I remember now

The last it saw of me was a fallen warrior and it might have scurried away terrified

It’s not the first to leave but it has been the most painful desolation

It’s okay

Now i know

I’ll have to search far and wide with a fight in my heart to make sure it comes back

I’m coming for you dear wait wherever you find yourself

or

This time I will be doing the fight for it
