EMPTY AIR, a poem

Tears falling down my cheeks like a stream without an end

    Mind wandering when and where you will turn up again

      So many times we fight about the stupid things in life

  My weakness has always been you and now I feel lost in this crazy world

     Unblinking eyes stare at a clicking clock that will not stop

        Minutes or days could have passed but all I think about is you

Pain seems absolute as the world draws more blood from my open veins

  Here I am just wandering around blindly in this darkened place

    No light appears before me and the road behind has been blocked

       If given another chance I would have kept you close for now I see my mistakes

          Selfish I had been in wanting more than what I truly needed

            Now what I need most is you holding me tight in your protective arms                

              Disappearing in the mist without a sound or a trace

  My world just shaken and rattled in a chaos that sees no end

    Wounds to lick and tend only wish to bleed some more

      Screams of my own making erupt through the night

        As I lay me down to rest in this world of pain

         Wrapping myself up in a blanket of glass and broken needles

           Cold and tired I wish you were here to kiss me a good night but all there is is empty air

This evoked such heart break and pain in me. I've been there and it really touched me. I think you did an excellent job of writing out these emotions. Well written. Thanks for posting. Out of intense emotion comes great art.
