There is a hollow spot in my bed

A place I didn't want to see unfilled

When your shape lay there

It was as if everything was whole

And everything was safe.

My world was suddenly complete

and nothing could change the adoration,

the respect, and the tinder in my heart

that helped my passion burn for you.

Then one day

Everything fell into disarray

Everyone was suddenly invisible

Everywhere was gone.

I was broken in half

And although I'd like to think part of me is gone

It's not.

Because I can feel the pain that it causes me.

I'm still all here.

But I'm not put together the right way.

And I have been fumbling with the pieces

for so long.

Nothing has a taste or a smell anymore

It's all one big void.

Perhaps I was wrong to imagine that there would be a life

after your death.

It's so hard, Trudy.

Too hard sometimes.

There is a smog inside my head

confusing me

shielding me from seeing what is right

what I should focus on.

I am unsafe

Even though I'm home,

I am lost.

Right now, all I need is for someone to say

"it will be okay;

"you will make it through this despair alive."

And for me to believe that the statement is true.

Yet, knowing in my soul, that it might not be.

As long as I have what memory I keep of you

I won't lose myself.

Maybe I won't vanish into thin air.
