1996
I am empty and alone.
I am suffering more than anyone knows.
There are no words that can explain.
I love her but I am forbidden to acknowledge this to anyone.
I am doomed to this vow of secrecy.
I long for her warm embrace, for her gentle gaze.
Her voice is whispering in my head, but she is gone and I am dying inside.
I weep daily.
I have been abandoned.
I am standing on the edge of this deep abyss.
I stand alone even though the world is flowing around me.
They don’t notice me, but I am shouting to them in my head.
Even my own God has forgotten me.
I will never be the same again.
I am only a shell of what I once was.
I have tasted heaven but I have been forced out.
The doors have been slammed and sealed.
I am sitting outside her gates, waiting, never to be known again.
