I feel the coldness of steel,
Slicing through my heart.
Your warmth leaving me....
.
Cold
.
.
Empty.
.
Void of your existence,
My body falls.
.
Lifeless
.
Its tethers lost,
.
Floating.
.
Gone is my light.
It's dark,
I feel...
.
Nothing.
.
Numb.
.
I call for you,
No one answers.
I pray that you can hear me.
I scream until my lungs dry out.
The air chokes me,
I can't breathe.
.
You were my air.
I close my eyes to find you,
Wandering in my dreams.
.
Waiting,
.
For me.
.
Never leave me again,
I need you with me.
.
There's no me,
When you're….
..
Gone.

The Boy, The Duck, and The Goose
He looks up like a reader interrupted mid-paragraph. The little duckling he had been shelling corn to runs off to its mother. A woman sits down next to him. Her face looks just as long as his, the void of loss in her life as palpable as his.

Absence make the heart go break.
This was very good reading it I kept hearing the song lyric Ain’t no sunshine when shes gone. Outstanding poem!
