after life

There is a her shaped hole in this world
A black void
If you look hard enough you can still see the sparkles of the departed
Black diamonds of the afterlife
The entrance left open
Incase he needs to follow

It isn't in leaving she said
It's in the living once I'm dead
The cold cold bed Sat in our room
The silence in the funeral home
This is what the worst will be
The carrying on with out me

It isn't in the leaving she said
It's in the living once I'm dead
She asked him once to be brave
Carry on to forget her name
Give some meaning to his life
Leave behind the dead cold wife

"How can you love me" she asked
All I want is to depart
"How am I faithfully yours"she cried
He just looked at her and sighed

It isn't in the leaving she cried
It's in the living once I've died
Where I go has no name
I can feel it pulling me back again
The darkness consumes me again and again
Then I'm hole then I'm home
Where I live has no name

I'll wait for you she said
She promised this in life and death

I warned you along the way she said
I tried to make you see
I never belonged to this world
As I was never really me
I belong to the nether world
I was put here by mistake
I'm waiting for it to draw me back
To take again my place

This is what she see there
He's all used up to even care
Watching his restless nights and days
Keeping the haunting mind at bay
The last vision in his head is his wife
Hanging above the bed

A sadness lives here...excellent grasp of poetic rendering of a seemingly undefinable emptiness.
Enjoyed the read.
Well done.
