the boy awoke as the stars faded forever more
      nothing but spaces dark filled their void
      no one ran or played in the alleys and parks anymore
      his dreams died as if someone pulled the plug
      day and night now seemed to not hold a significant change
     he no longer yearned for happiness in his heart
      or shivered in cold and rain
      his skin no longer carried a sense of beauty or image
      just a living shell containing his repetitive impulses
      his body did not walk with pride or dignity but dragged along
      a carcass, a host for numb emotions and dark realities
     the world around him no longer shimmered in color and vibrancy
      but hung like a gray and dreary blanket over his sleepless eyes
      others bump into him; running in a hurry to live their lies
      paying no attention and not even realizing he was there
      not that it would have mattered for he was elsewhere
     no longer dazed and confused but shattered from reality
      torn from understanding
       weak from wisdom
          fatigue from fear
           he had awoke to an eternity without her
