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…
