These tears, they fall through
What could have been memories
Of me and you.
I wake up numb and alone,
Your arms around someone else’s waist
And I am cold.
All I can sense is the pieces of my heart
Slowly, painfully, crumbling and hemorrhaging
Into my body, and flowing out of my soul.
Dead to myself, just drifting through the days.

"Dead to myself, just drifting through the days". You express your sense of loss very well.

welcome to allpoetry
I can feel the sadness in your words. It is very close to my heart at the moment. You have done a great job writing this out. I hope you will continue to write and share your words with us all.
