Something More Then Death

when you first left it was excruciating 
every night my mind felt broken 
all of our memories and all of our words were ripped from my grasp 
i was drowning in the tears i shed for you 
you were my soul and suddenly there was nothing
no happiness 
no reason 
no life 
you were gone in an instant 
and in an instant so was i 
i could not face the reality of your absence 
and i would lay in bed replaying our memories
they danced behind my eyelids
taunting me with your absence
nostalgia was the enemy 
and i was drowning in it 
-interminable
