and now i (cannot) lay me down to sleep…

how do you –
un-feel,
un-remember,
un-know…

how do you –
un-live,
un-do,
un-care?

nothing that i’ve ever felt,
no sunrise seen;
dream imagined – true –
nothing that i’ve ever known
made in this world –
compares to you…

essential as air –
attached to my need as much as dawn –
to night –
the all of you is everything to me…

how can a soul –
un-need,
a touch once felt?
how does a heart –
un-break,
once broken?

agony in your absence –
lonely,
cold as midnight dark –
pieces scattered on the ground of –
used to be happy.
shattered dreams,
thin as angel’s hair –
carried away by winds of discontent…
