Aloneness

the swelling taste 
of your absence 
was heavy on the tongue 
of my silent night

i grabbed speckles 
of darkness 
flying between 
my longing eyes

i searched for the shadow 
of your moon
within the walls 
of my starry night

my eyes bled crystal rivulets  
as my mind defogged
with the knowledge 
of my aloneness  

i lay down to sleep 
hanging on to 
the endless rails 
of your vivid departure

Well penned write of keloid memories of the pain and JOY of the ONE that lost its "E". Now She must sojourn onward with the thrEE who are always with you and will lead you to ONE again. Great write. Peace and Love.

You made me feel this. I think it’s good to be sad for a while until it no longer serves your purpose.
