Days

For two thousand or so days (And nights)
You were part of my life
Part of me
Part of my very soul.

When it was over,
I went numb inside and out
I felt nothing.

Not happy
Not sad
Just a gaping hole
Where my spirit used to be.

It's been seven thousand or so days
Since I died.

My heart still beats
But I feel nothing.
