Just a Tired Soul

I hear your voice in my head
Your teasing tones when happy
The low mumble when uncomfortable
They are here in my mind
Sometimes like a soothing melody
Other times like stabbing mockery

I hear your footsteps
Strong when you were agile
Halting when you sneak up to me
I drag mine now
Maybe I’m trying to mimic you
Perhaps I want to hold on to something after all

I smell you everywhere
I turn around to make sure
I’m not imagining things
And it makes me weak every time
Knowing that memories are all I have
Accepting it’s that way now

I want you here with me
I miss your goofy nature
The way you wrap your arms around me
Whispering kind words in my ear
You would know what to do with the tears
But I'm stuck here without you

Today was an exhausting day. Not physically tho. I wrote this not sure who or what I was writing to. I hope they hear.
