Forever in the Night:
1-26-09
I fall face-down into my ocean of fantasies hoping the pillow stifles the cries and softens my embrace.
I let my dreams of you override the fearful warnings of pain that is sure to come.
The gloomy rain and snow carries me away with its wrath helping to dispose of my unwanted pain.
It seems everything I've known is slowly creeping away, along with my memories of you.
My tears have washed dry forcing my thoughts to stray away from what used to be.
Air suffocates my new lungs and burns my chest as I swallow the gasps of air.
I clench my body together to keep it from falling apart; it feels as if you have taken it with you.
The agony screams fiercely through my mind, opening the wounds that have taken months to heal.
Somehow I feel your presence, but I know it is not real; my body is trembling so hard that I've forgotten how to feel.
For once I let the pain overcome me and retrieve your face from my memory, but you are no longer there.
I search frantically for a speck of you in my memory but I only recover dust.
I fall face-down in my grave so dark and right, and there is where I recall your face reaching towards me forever in the night.
