Tears cling, unwillingly to leave -
the rain runs them down.
I dress to brave the stinging storm,
but nothing makes my heart warm.
Heavy heart and heavier emotions
cut deep and lay deeper.
Snowfields of memories lay for miles,
and I walk alone -
each step frozen for time eternal.
I breathe and guess the heart pumps,
but am not sure if I am alive.
For when you left,
you took everything -
gifting me the void of your absence.
I wait -
for this desolate moment to end,
for this destitute heart to flourish,
for you to come back soon.
you will..... will you?

the word "lay" in both cases her should be "lie" but I may have chosen a different word to replace the second one such as "expand" for miles.
It is true sometimes the time that comes right after a hard break-up seems empty as we grieve - pointless - like it will never end, but as always, in the end - this too shall pass.
each step frozen for eternal time. - indeed time is eternal, but we are not. Ironic, that.
Thank you for such a beautiful entry. Best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela
