I'm dying in your memory
for I am lost without your presence
I search the dark recesses of my mind
to bring you back, if only for a moment
Surrounded by loneliness, I search for a
lonely place, for the companionship of silence
Every sound is a memory related to you
I reside in hell
Consumed by fires that burn your name
into my skin
Stoked and fanned by memories
like sins unforgiven
I feel you as I close my eyes
and remember your touch
Blinded by tears of loss,
I miss you
I will never love again,
I accept that
without anger or bitterness,
or any other emotion
except resignation
