Loss
How can I describe it?
That feeling deep in the crevices of my mind
where the darkness takes hold, strangles every feeling,
steals away the very desire to live;
beyond the realm of sun and its warm light
the heart cringes away from all emotion
when laughter doesn't crack a smile, even tears do not fall.
I'm here
never saw it coming, knew it was inevitable
breaching the horizon at dusk.
The graying clouds,
the overshadowing rainy haze, humid drippings of effortless observance,
that all emcompassing sadness;
it grows over time
counting the seconds and the hours, days and weeks of knowing you're gone
and I am left in this emptiness;
as the nothingness embraces me
do you watch silent, sorry at this place I hold
where words cannot describe
the loss.
