Void
I see you in my dreams, laughing, eyes merrily dancing
you fill my heart with love, my soul with kissed promises
But when I awake from this rainbowed dream where all the edges
are bound with colored ribbons of hope
I find you standing at the end of my bed, eyes sunken and hollowed
a black crow, perched upon the limb of your own destruction
Your addictions gnawing away at your being are all that appear
no light exudes from your presence, darkness has enveloped you
has stolen your future and our dreams, like a thief that
slipped by, so quietly unseen
all that is left are the bright images of the past,
where we are captured in moments of suspended happiness
They frequent every corner of my mind and visit me in
my subconscious
If only I could but remain in that deepest void
you would be as you were, our future would be as it
always should have been
I close my eyes and block out your image that has tainted my
present reality
choosing to dwell upon the scattered pictures and remain
blissfully peaceful in my own ignorance
For the person that you were is forever lost to me, gone,
swallowed whole
of us there is but an empty vacuum, a succession of days,
until the end
