A Delicate Void

Flesh

So I guess that

It all ends

Here.

I guess that we

Will go

Our separate ways

And never speak

Again.

We might talk again

In the distant future.

A piece of me

Screams out for you,

All of my bones creak

As they ache for you to come

Closer.

My soul remains numb,

It's flame dowsed

By the negativity that surrounds

My mind.

A part of me knows

That this is for the

Better.

Tomorrow is a new day,

Or at least that is what they all

Say.

But tomorrow is another day without

You

And for some reason that scares

Me.

I guess that this is

Goodbye.

I guess that I can

Shred all of these memories

And break all of the

Promises

That I swore to keep forever.

I guess our definitions

Of eternity

Are different.

Flesh covers my bones

And I search

For more than

Flesh.

I search for a promise

That you could not

Keep.

I reach for hands that

Are no longer

There.

I taste your lips

Though they've long been

Departed.

We might talk again the

Distant future.

And for some reason

That scares

Me.
