Aching
My soul is empty and broken
Filled with loss and longing
My body screams for his touch
Instead, I am alone
My emptiness feels immeasurable
My soul, hot to the touch
Aching for coolness
My tears are endless
The fount of them leaving room for nothing else
My heart is nailed to the floor of my chest
Weighted by an anvil
The air, sucked from my longs through my stomach
I hold myself, but find no comfort
Rocking myself, I find no relief
My faith has been decimated
The remains sticky and irritating
A cob web that has been walked through
Clinging for substance
Yielding only futility
Emptiness.
Meaninglessness.
Futility.
These are now my life. |
