I think of her when
the light starts to fade,
A half-remembered face rising from the depths.
Funny. In this dream she reaches inside my chest
And removes my still-beating heart.
A howling cry darkens the air, witnessing to misery
And pain; reverberating through the shadows.
The walls echo the screams. Again and again
Piercing my skull, flooding my head with fresh agony.
A constant reminder of things that would never be.
I stay there, in the
darkness. The pain washes over me.
Wearing me down like an ocean wave scouring the rocky shore.
Leaving nothing but crumbled shells and a handful of sand;
A broken heart and shattered dreams.
