Void

"Billions of women in this world
But only one is my world"

The quest begins
For your replacement
The prototype
To the archetype
Of which my joy
Was built
The architect to
This temples brick

I've lost the one
The search is done
No point in moving on
The precedence has been set
The bar raised beyond reach
Prototypes lacking in varied degrees
Trying to quench what's empty

How do I complete the puzzle
When the last piece has left?
How do I complete the photo,
When I'm standing by myself
The beat that defibrillates my heart
The words that calm my fears
The memory behind the melody
Your the music echoing thru me

Numb to emotion numb to love
Re ignite me with your touch
Let my fractured heart
Meet yours on top of Olympia
Fuse together with hope
Melded with growth
Soddered with forgiveness
Doused in trust
Lesson lived lesson learned  
Ultimate Alliance
Reborn

Am I grasping at straws?
Or is the straw poking me
All this is easy to say
But hard to believe
Holding out for a heroine
Holding out for my queen
Is it harder to forgive
Or harder to leave?
