I have ..

I have this pain inside of me
It doesn’t want to let me live
I have this emptiness eroding my soul
Of not having you …here at all .

I have this hollow …deserted …
Colorless …vast arid space
Surrounding my heart
It’s brown …barren…and quiet …
Oh so very quiet …there’s not life !

You have taken all I had
Only a fading beat was left behind
Just enough to keep me going
Like a zombie …wondering why .

I didn’t want to say goodbye
So I held on tight to the nothingness I had
And tears flowed when realized
That nothingness ..can’t hold me up

And down below the dark abyss
Waiting to swallow me into its arms
Ready to shred whatever it’s left
Of what I once… called my life .

  1. nmod what a deep mournful poem………..written from experiencing these emotions I would think…………..lucky are the few who have never had to endure this heartache, either through death or broken love affairs…………I have, and know exactly what you are feeling……….been there, done that, as have so many other’s………..life sucks at times doesn’t it. xxx

  4. I’m feeling this way now nmod – my beautiful Phoebe left me in September and the emptiness is hard to bear. This is one of the reasons I have not been on SC for some time. These feelings, as you have described them, just don’t seem to want to go away. I have been sleeping a lot because that is the only way I can ease the pain.
    I hope one day soon your pain will ease and life can begin again for you.
    Take care Love fy2 xoxox
