Heartbroken

The most profound depth of her desire faded and died without notice or warning leaving me a heartbroken cold footnote on the final page of our love the word goodbye was never spoken, only implied by her silence bursting my heart like a bubble drifting on the wind dripping pain from its last moment of existence on my soul that's now a hermit trapped in the rags of yesterday lost in the desert of loneliness beneath a black sky without stars where a shadowed solitude washes my face in the timeless sand of my windblown footprints leading to nowhere, carrying pictures of her as they appear in my mind's lost dreams where I collapse with my head tilted against my heart's broken wall crying in silence over a world that's gone forever I stretch my empty pained heart towards the unknown in hopes of grasping a lingering light to heal my heartbroken soul 2/25/23 contest Writing Challenge-H-words sponsor Constance La France Heartbroken
