Life was taken

Life was taken away not too long ago near was the one I had once called dear no longer was my Love, though my love remained her face (a shining star) now set aglow her body soon to melt away as like the snow little I remember of how that day went for all I knew is she lost her hue warmth that remained was eaten up by the hungry earth the hole lines its self with my velvet discontent its sinister works being fully spent what she left behind is a question I face annoyed I am to this never ending void that has carved out its home in me filling its nothingness into all my space never at rest always apace clouds of black form over me clouds of black “attack!” is what they say continuing on throughout all that was good clouds of black, my true friends they be for they blot out the sun from hitting me maybe in my mind I’ll see her again if not, to just play those memories (they turn out gray) faults of the past fight out the good they leave none alive in their campaign leaving the battlefield in unending strain who pushes me to sit on such a mood? death’s very breath teases me these days could it be him? or is it his own guilt? which puts him in a place of being so lewd his job needed be, makes him not lightly viewed ‘what ifs’ plague my thoughts and despair they begin to tell me of that which should’ve been they mix my yesterdays with now and future it seems they get energy from the very air I have to breathe no matter where these thoughts are my last gift to her my Friend the pieces of my heart are too small for a restart my knowledge will only come with my obsession this all I have left to append I will not ever again befriend
