The weighty hand of death crushes the core of your being,
sending a shiver slithering up your spine like a cold serpent.
And an empathic moon slips quietly away,
letting darkness conceal the tears pooling in your eyes.
Your heart is numb; you feel absolutely nothing;
there is no anger, no hate, no feelings at all,
just an all-consuming emptiness
where your heart should be.
Abandoned to your dreams and nightmares,
life has lost all meaning; it just is.
Death has reduced you to a broken shell,
a hollowed-out heart that is falling apart piece by piece.
For; love has receded into memory's maze
of bittersweet moments and forever dreams.
And as pain breaks through to your reality,
a landslide of hurt pushes you toward oblivion.
Acid tears burn your cheeks; like rivers of fire,
corrosive enough to dissolve hope and tarnish your soul.
Tossed away, like the bitter dregs of yesterday's coffee,
your self-esteem is in free fall, a feeling impossible to describe.
Crumbling into a fetal position, you hug your knees,
And rhythmically rock back and forth,
teetering on the edge of despair.
Your soulmate is gone; Death has left a hole in your heart,
and you’re unsure if time will ever fill it.
Your breathing becomes erratic; panic is rapidly taking control,
yet you fight back, slowly regaining your faculties.
But your heart harbors excruciating emotional pain,
and the tears spontaneously flow again.
You cannot comprehend how you’ll continue your life;
there are no more tomorrows to be shared, only yesterdays to recall.
You have never felt so helpless and vulnerable;
the best part of you has died; now, grief consumes your heart.
