The void your voice has left me echoes in every moment of my day
Like a slow thud it hits the back of my mind
I push it aside
Stop… focus… breathe
Each exhale creates a small shudder
No.
It has no space here
The void my weakness has left me allows all these thoughts to take root
Like a virus until it overcomes every moment
I start to succumb
Wait… observe… gasp
Each gasp for air causes the pain to deepen
Yes.
I know this place dear
The void that love has left for me embraces my sorrow in a painful grip
Like a vice it squeezes the breath out of my lungs
I start to fade
Grasp… oblige… BREATHE
The inhale burns my lungs as it is filtered through tears
No.
I will not reside here
The void that my friend has left me tinges happiness with sorrow
Like a song I used to love that now is far too real
I stop to listen
In… out… okay
The aching becomes a new friend as it and I become acquainted
I guess…
I will fill this void with love dear
