late

[12 Mar 2006 | Sunday]


deafening silence
so loud.
i cringe. shiver.
i want to scream your name
i want to pull you close
i want to ask you why
i want to cry.

i see you before me
and want to look away
close my eyes
and forget.
but I can't.
yet.

i am shaking
thoughts fill my mind
flow like blood through my veins
and my chest tightens
to keep them
from exploding
from my mouth.

i am scared to see you
more afraid to see you go
so my eyes hold you
until you fade into the colors of distance
a blurry vision
of what I once could see so clearly
out of sight
but still
i feel you.

i want to scream your name
i want to pull you close
i want to ask you why
i don't want to cry

relax
breathe
the words escape
eyes open
you are
gone.
