I am alone
In a dark, cold corner
I cannot find you
I cannot reach you
I cannot breathe
You have left me
Shattered, abandoned and alone
In stark shadows, I linger lost, anguished
Hopefully, foolishly,futilely
Too tired to fight back demons
Too dejected to pretend indifference
The beckoning, familiar darkness enshrouds me
Comforting me in its intimate embrace
The only embrace I shall ever know
Fleeting memories assault my weary mind
I vainly endeavor to grasp the ephemeral specters of recollection
Like knives, they stab me, taunt me
Wounding my heart again and again
Until there is no more pain
Only a tired sorrow and repulsively accustomed acceptance
I am alone
Again
