Emptiness is all that is felt deep inside my heart;
its hold grows tighter with each breath I take.
I never wanted this for us, and it's tearing me apart;
each minute that passes is another part of me that breaks.
How do you let go completely of the one you've always loved?
How can you pretend to be okay when you feel like dying?
How can you find the strength to live through this hell into which you've been shoved?
How can you remember to smile through every tear that you are crying?
I thought I'd been through the hardest of hard in my life,
but nothing could prepare me for this feeling that rots away
at all I am inside. I hoped to one day be your wife,
and even still I love you always and that way it will forever stay.
I don't know how I'm making it, each moment is devastating;
hurting you to help you only made me hurt myself more.
Silence brings on worse feelings, myself I keep constantly hating,
and I'm scared to death that eventually you won't love me anymore.
You were my life and still you are, and forever in my heart;
I've let you go to see if you would come back-now comes the hardest part.

I have felt that hole in my heart many times. Yet there was always that one person who filled it no matter what. Great write and good luck in my contest -

wow. i never had this much trouble getting over shit head. no need to mention names coughCASEYcough. I thought this was a wonderful piece. it was so sad. unfortunately i cant say i know how you feel because, in my opinion, everybody EVERYBODY feels in their own way. it always makes me mad when people they know how i feel because then i'm like ok once you and i share the same dna and one of us is pushed off the face of the earth THEN you'll know how i feel. sorry...hmm..i should write a poem about that...see how you inspire me? this was soo good. the layout was kinda squished and i had a hard time reading it but the words are expertly put...sorry for the long comment. -
Sad
I know too well that feeling, but no matter what you have to keep your head up and keep pushing forward my friend and I am so sorry that you had to go through that. Feel better and thanks for sharing it with me...
