All that you said,
I wish that too in 
that sweet moment 
when the world is wiped clean 
and anything is possible,
before sleep takes over.

That is all

You,
I start at you and I don't know the rest.
I say it over and over
And I don't know how to proceed
My words are failing me.
Please don't go, I want to say
But I erase it
Please be alright,
 I will say instead.

You are not here anymore.
That is all.

You

You 
will always be you 
in ways that bereaves me
Now sealed from each other
My ears pressed to the walls of the room
You occupy, worlds that never meet
Just felt intuitively
Through lost currents of the heart.
That is how the world shatters.
That is how the world spins.

If I say your name at one end of the world
 Would you hear me at the other end?

Sick to the stomach
Afraid to even write here, 
Still in love, still in fear
A series of emotions I am
Unable to entangle
but mostly the debilitating, weakening, sinking 
 falling that stands out
The dread of just falling without landing
without an end
Unable to write, unable to eat
In the mistaken belief 
That you would peel off my skin
 and I would punctuate you life.

Silence, so much silence its beginning
 to reverberate into loud nothingness
Still so much to stitch back together
With needles, only the sharpest would do
Vast expanse of space now,
No plans, no date marked
Blank pages, nothing much to write about
A book suddenly made blank
Un-inked, wiped out of trace
Words undone
You have already done so much of trying
To claw yourself back into what was
Don't you see the deep red  blood you drew from him?
It is time to leave. 
Muffled sobs because your mother sleeps beside you.
What you wouldn't give to be in an empty house
To cry your eyes out
To live your life out in the never-ending desert
 Searching for what you have lost 
And will never get back
Still the tug of the heart to overcome.

I hope to one day 
Love you without hurting 
To love you with pure grace and goodwill 
And love you from a distance 
To love you for the wonderful dream 
that you had turned out to be.
