I'm praying these pages will fill the void. But each word that comes flinging itself on the paper aches just a little more than the last [I'm fucking throbbing from this amputation]. My fingers ache in a mad dash to find the right combinaton of sentences to make me forget you're not here.
[[As If]] throwing my pain on paper will wrench it from my chest...
Solidity hauls itself up my throat and finds a comftoable position in the back of my mouth. If it were possible to vomit up my heart I promise you I would've already done it.
Faces stare all around me looking but not really seeing. How would they ever see depth they couldnt feel? And here I am trying to verbalize my ache to get it off my chest and sling it into their's.
Maybe then they will understand my human condition.
Distance is DEAFENING and my heart beats for each mile in between. There are no vantage points on the way down; I began to loose count of the stars not wished on. My grasp of language is useless and all the pain bundled tight in my frame is daring me to take one more step.
Here we are faced with seperation and clinging to whispered telephone conversations like there was no God damned tomorrow.
Because there isnt.
Author notes
Hes a billion miles away in Nebraska. And he wants to come home and I want him home and I love this kid so much its strangiling me.
Fuck it.
I'm in-love.

AMAZING ENDING. Great essence. Great everything. This is exactly what I was looking for, really. Couple parts could have been stronger but still. Thank you for the inspiration!
