Unrequited

Lately I sleep for only moments before I'm suddenly awake again drowning in a reality where you don't love me  
I break the surface and I gasp for air as I claw at the ether beckoning the arrival of a breathable tomorrow that never really comes...  
 
My heart has grown stale  
There's no warmth or cold to be found as the numbness sets in...  
 
My eyes burn and my vision clouds as l look out upon the barren waste where once passion did flow yet now the taps are parched and brittle...
   
My insides have hollowed and within this vacuous space echos the pang of the loss of something I never really had...
