I have lost myself.

I feel no pain.

No sadness.

No guilt.

Alarm bells should be ringing in my head.

But I am numb to the world.

Something is not right... just not right.

I am missing a part of me, that which makes me whole.

I can barely breathe without you.

I am desperate and scared and alone.

I turn and see the shadow lingering in the dusk.

I had forgotten that part of me, but it all comes rushing back now.

He is my keeper still.

The pain is almost too much for me.

But I'm not alone.
