Empty

 There's a darkness where you were

A big chasm of stillness that threatens to envelope me

I'm struggling to understand 

What happened?

Where did you go?

what was said , unsaid?

Your love and emotion has kept me afloat for weeks 

Coaxing me out of the shadows to be blissfully sheltered by your design

But it's gone, all gone.

Not a single shred of you is left 

My phone erased you.

Quietened the twisted words and distorted feelings

All pictures, poems, songs shared...all gone

With a push of a button

Hours of exchange, contact, learning

Eradicated in minutes 

I ache to fill the space you created

This nothingness is deafening me

Clawing at my skin 

Begging me to stop 

But I can't

I'm tortured by your words

Your affirmations, your gifts, your time spent 

Scribbled messages, thoughtful cards..flowers

All seems meaningless and mute

My gaze saddens as I stare upon them now

Rereading lines and touching delicate flowers and tokens of love

Fuck...what happened here?

It's like a tornado has ripped through my life 

Thrown out all that is good

Now I'm a shell

A weeping , sorry , lost girl.

What have we done here?

What happened so swiftly

To make you cut me from your heart so brutally and your life so definitely.

I don't understand

Tread Lightly

Tread lightly 
With my heart
For it is wounded and unstitched.
I'm holding my breath 
While holding your hand. 

In the dark,
I see you.
Feel your words of comfort 
Not yet knowing your touch
Your gaze
Your heart.

There's a  distance
It's safe
It's warm
It holds me close
Fences my heart in.

And yet,
I ache to be known.

To be seen
To be held
To be whole
Once more.

And yet,
Still I am afraid.
Of a truth,
Of knowing
Of letting go.

But I'm trying ❤️
