The Shape of Your Absence.

poem by: Joshua JayShades Legister
Written on May 27, 2026

I have nothing without you.
You became my world, and now I walk through the ruins of it.
I hate you for leaving, for doing what you did .Yet I would break every law of time just to hear your voice one more night.
I’m free-falling.
Slowly fading.
And the hardest part is wondering if you even care.
Did you ever truly love me, or was I holding onto ghosts while you were already gone?
I held back years.
I screamed through fears.
I drowned my pain in beers.
Now my heart aches in silence because your shadow disappeared.
Every room feels colder.
Every memory cuts deeper.
And somehow the world keeps turning while mine stopped the moment you walked away.
