feelings placed on hold –

access –

denied.

what do you do when

doors are closed –

no goodbyes?

longing eats a hole

in sanity’s – reality –

words cannot be – unsaid,

feelings – un-felt…

regret –

an evil unparalleled –

compounded by cruel rejection…

the tender heart lies broken,

compassion lost –

abandon feels like midnight dark,

dying all alone…

those days are here again –

when i’m alone –

clinging to the threads of

my existence,

          falling fast!

those days are here again –

when you are gone –

and everywhere i turn,

i find the emptiness,

the lonely shadow.

where are you now –

these sleepless nights,

these lifeless days?

where have you run

to find yourself?

you leave me –

losing mine!
