Without you

A Poem by Rapterj

The world I live in...

Silent face.
Soundless echo.

This hollow in which I hide.

Your breath
Holds me.

Each pulse, pounding like a hammer.

My heart is but an anvil
Torn with dread

Committed to a lie
Purged

Empty

Dead.

And to what I owe this honor,
This rare cursed gift?

A b*****d of the twilight
And a damnation of the whole.

There you are

To the hollows I see
And the crevaces I hold so dear

Like some perverted dementia
I'm still staring

Long after you've gone.

So where are you?
And what is left?

Just this thing I despise.
Just this life.

Turns out its nothing -

Nothing without you
