When I Think of You Ifl

When you were no more

I felt a distance.
That of absolute solitude
Like lost stars within infinities
That have both petrified and imploded.

I felt like ice.
Frozen, stunned and vaguely shedding.
In a sea of torrents of sorrows and bitter emptiness

I felt like 
The biggest part of me ran off without a goodbye or sign thereof.
To never land
Like I was falling
And I would never land.

I felt like
You
You were that part of me.
That magnified my being.
Made me feel more than and not equal to or less.

And now alas

I feel imaginary, insolvable, the square root of a negative value.
A little less than nothing
A little more than stagnant

This is.

When I think of you

And

You are not.
