`twas the last beat of hopes fading heart.
Yet try as my fevered mind might,
I could not save her with my poetic art.
I was left standing, a man alone in the night.
Lost and alone with no ray of light,
I walked the darkness and fear.
Hoping to find a ray, a beam so bright.
Yet none came, no one drew near.
So like the walking wounded cry,
I journeyed forth with my heart cold.
Looking up towards the stars in the sky,
I knew that I would carry this burden until I grew old.
I confronted that beauty that she was to me.
Weeping at the thoughts of no hope.
I looked into her eyes that nevermore see.
With My dreams and desires captured by death's rope.
My heart ripped from it's foundations.
In that moment, hopes heartbeat faded and passed.
Tears flowed like rain in consternation.
Drowning me in the light of love that had amassed.
Love which would be there no more.
It drove this strong man to His knees.
Weak with the knowledge of the vacuum I abhore.
Then from my lips escaped, "God, please."
And hopes heart, beat no more.

ME
How do I tell you of the feelings that I have for you?
If the universe were a cup and my love measured in drops,
then the whole of the universe could not hold the total
of the love that I have for you.
Yet the darkness of you not being here remains and is complete.
I ache for you, your look, and your feel. I miss you,
your essential essence and the presence of your spirit.
In my world you are not only a part of the exterior of me but
also a critical component of the interior of me. I rage within
myself at the loneliness that is there.
How is it that my mind is only half here without you? Have you
become so crucial to me, that me is no longer without you? When
did I become us and when did us become so entwined that it is now
me? Sure we say we when talking to others, but it is me that we are!
A single entity in mind and spirit shared between these two bodies.
Complete only when our two bodies are entangled in physical love.
At that moment me is one.
Return to me my love! Make me whole again!
