A Void

Why does my mind fly away,
To a seaside, near the bay?
Why does the balmy sea breeze,
Sprinkle me with the spray?

Why does the sound of the lashing waves,
Come to my ears?
Why does the cold foamy water,
Taste like salty tears…?

Why does the grains of sand,
Crunch beneath my feet?
Why does the wind caress my face,
As it whistles through the trees?

Why does it I feel like I am not alone,
Even though, I know I am?
Why does it feel like my heart is not with me,
Yet I live, as I can…

As we part...

The excruciating pain can only be felt,
Deep within the dark recess of my heart...
Almost like a knife plunged in & twisted...
I whimper & crumple with juggernaut emotions
Too frail to unravel the feelings
Hot, salty tears spring forth...
Unstoppable... from my eyes,
Like molten lava from the earth's center..
I bleed, and yet there is no sign of blood
Wonder why, it hurts so much to lose someone...
All that I am left with…
Are, some unforgettable memories of beautiful moments
Captured to stay with me for the rest of my life....
