Loss

            

I lie here staring at the ceiling
unable to sleep.
The thought of you makes
my heart weep.
So burdened by the loss
of you. I cannot believe that
we are through.
The love I felt for you has become
dread. The dread of living, wishing
to be dead.
There is no longer warmth, only
the cold feeling of loneliness.
A life that was once full is now
a place of suffering emptiness.
When you left, all the light of
day disappeared with you.
Now there is just a never ending
night to get through.
A heart so empty, yet so
full of grief.
Longing and searching,
finding no relief.
Never accepting that you
are gone.
The wait for your return
goes on and on.
So night after night the
routine repeats, unable to
sleep and my heart weeps.
