Brutal Phantom Pain, Exquisite Dreams and A Once Upon a Time

 
 
It's within the blurry haze  
when I catch tiny glimpses  
those split second aches  
that nearly break me,  
bringing me to my knees
 
Renewed awareness
of absence  
How very much I've missed  
Memories that will never be made  
and a hole that never quite heals  
 
Pain attracts  
Like, like attracts like
Reasoning is never again
of any solid reason
it's where in stasis becomes routine  
 
and a soul slowly withers
without even realizing  
it had always been withering  
from that crucial moment forward—
 
by the death
 
 
 
of an almost beginning.
