I’ve sat here for hours
trying to find words
that will somehow say everything
contained within my heart
I never saw this coming
My world without you
Everyday brings new aches and pains
Each memory turned bittersweet
Holidays and birthdays
that should have been spent together
are now heart rending reminders
that life is not how it should be
Those around me
express their concern, love, support
as much as I know they care
it doesn’t stop me from falling apart
The ache doesn’t release nor ease
My heartbreak is my own burden
even in the midst of a thousand vows of love
Words fail me
my heart is a blackhole
a void exists in my soul
and every moment I am unquestionably aware
that my chest aches anew with each breath
I can’t help but exist
but no matter what this one truth
is my new reality
“My whole world is dark without you.”
