cacoon

You’ve been gone.

It now feels like it’s been forever.

I know, you’re not coming back,

and this forever is going to end, never.
Life doesn’t stop, for anyone, now I know.

Time doesn’t stop, for anyone, now I know.

Lived my whole life in a cocoon, trying to be safe,

but, now, I need to step out, to see this world.

I thought you were my world, little did I know,

how wrong was I, for the real world awaits outside.

But this feeling of emptiness can never be filled,

It’s going to take me a while to accept this.
You’ve been gone.

It now feels like it’s been forever.

I know, you’re not coming back,

and, this, forever is going to end, never.
