But when you replaced me as effortlessly as the sky replaces the moon with the sun, I didn't have the strength or the heart to fill the void you left behind. Some nights I'll let the darkness consume me but when the morning arrives, the darkness stays; staining my days mercilessly. Each passing day extinguishes any ounce of hope that grew in place of silence. Nevertheless, I'll hold my breath, wait for the feeling to subside and for the doubt to leave me, except that it never does.
