Abrasions of Lost Love

Reality pangs my existence,
Every breath chokes my dreams.
What am I without you?

Nothing but a lone...desolate soul,
Living in a scraped sheet of skin.
Marked with incisions of past hurts.

I feel completely alone,
Abandoned in the corners of reality.
Numb...longing your affection.

Here I am once again...
Crouched on the bathroom floor.
Knowing this is the last time I will miss you.

You have found the deeper side of lost love....so painful for some, there seems no light left to live for. So often with younger people...lost love feels so final...if only they would see that life offers a bright future...the pain does ease given time, and then one can see with new perspective. Especially this time of year loss can be so very hard....the depth of this is crying in truth of that pain. So Well written. Love, Carrie

Raul, if you were going for deep I think you have succeeded - Its rather sad when people reach this point - I am one who takes breakups pretty hard - I hope this is not a reflection of your personal feelings because you mean a great deal to a number of people; myself included. Merry Christmas & God Bless, mj
