.. i can\'t breathe ..
i cry out for you in the night
dreams of the past haunt me
ghosts invading my sleep
i awaken trembling...
short of breath..
mind racing....
no comprehension of my surroundings
the darkness swallows me
i am alone and i am lost...
needing your guidance and strength
longing for your tender touch
to bring light into my soul
and a song to my heart again
as my breath slowly escapes me...

...click click ... the end...
surrounded by confusion
turning into indifference
shrouded by fear
intensified by emptiness
the only noise i hear
is my clock on the wall
tick tick ... tick tick
time is moving so slowly
yet life passes in a blur
thoughts racing through my mind
still i am incoherent
crying out
no one hears
my soul dies
and so shall i
the chamber is no longer hollow
snap...spin...click...click
then...the end

i feel him brush my cheek on a soft breeze
the wind whispering his name to me
so faintly that i cannot quite hear
yet i comprehend enough to become alert
his existence invades my peaceful sleep
filling my dreams with desire
tantalizing my senses
teasing my inner-being
i am wrapped in rapture
rhapsody overtakes me
ecstacy at my finger tips
yet not quite within reach
only enough to provide a taste
not quite quenching my thirst
my mind racing with thoughts
where there once was emptiness
am i still numb? ... no ..i now feel
what is this sensation ...
stirring my soul
awakening a heart that was dormant
too scared to beat for an
i sit here
lost
alone
empty
yearning for you
mind wandering
in no apparent direction
blind to the sights around me
only seeing your face
deaf to the music in the air
only hearing the harmony of your voice
as remnances of it linger in my mind
hours of conversation
flowing through my memory
feeling as if it were only yesterday
then nothing...only silence
waiting
wondering
hoping
longing
needing a sign
that what i started feeling
was not in vain
praying its all a figment
of my dark imagination
come to me and show me
you are not really gone
vanished from my world
that you will return
and bring light to my soul
lone
