In The Stillness of Absence

In the absence of beating
The silence dimly echoes
The stillness stirs no life
The demon in me bellows
In the absence of thought
Light begins to fade
A blanket settles over
Of darkness, it is made
In the absence of company
Loneliness calls me home
The vastness invites me in
In emptiness I shall roam
In the absence of time and space
Existence ceases all
Always, I'll be lost
Forever, Will I fall


In the absence of you
Life has been lost
Death is surely better
Than this glorious, dreadful cost

Dark words, tragic emotions, so much said and felt.. tis desperation waiting to live.. to find light... and no, Death is not better... life takes you places where everything that shimmers can b gold.. and love lies alongside. Truly. Wonderful words.. wonderful future.. i so hope, Melissa.
