a speck in the universe - Meghan Jacoby

I felt you in my life before I ever thought to
I lived you, breathed you
And begged for you to take me in
And begged for you to let me live
And so under your wings I loved and breathed
And living seemed not as much as a far off dream
Rather  it was existence deserving of the world in which I preyed upon
Using, taking, reaching I wanted it all
I wanted the world
I wanted you
And I thought you wanted me too
But you took me for everything I was
You took everything I gave you and everything I kept for myself
And you took me with you when you left
I thought that existence was a meaningless name for life,
A term that couldn’t exist
Because when with another person
When with love
Existence does not exist
I thought the world was only full of living things
But you can be broken
Everyone
Everything
Breaks
And-
Everything
Everyone
Will break.
I am pieces of what I used to be
And I am a shell of living that simply exists
So what I am, and what I will be
Has broken.
Now, I do not live.
I exist.
