Hurting Swell

Riding on the swell

Of the rising pain in my body

I catch one glimpse of your face

I am lonely

I am confused

I am hurt

You are gone

You have been taken

You are in the comfort of your home

And I am abandoned

Alone in this world of hurt

A world full of creatures born and bred to cause strife

To harm

To ****

To make each other bleed

 

I am riding this swell

Of ever rising agony

Trying to extract the shrapnel of a shattered heart

Out of my splintering organs

Bleeding to death is an option

There is not any point in being here

Alone

By myself

No one to love

No one to be loved by

This turmoil of emotions gives me not a reprieve,

But a mind numbing truth

This is the end

The end of Us

Therefore the end of me

The end of Me

 

Nothing matters in this ocean of  never healing brokenness

The one place where the searing heat of your gaze

Cannot reach me

Where I most need it to

The one place where your touch

Brings no respite

When I need the comfort of your embrace

The place where Your memory haunts me

It haunts me when I need to use it as a buoy

To save my life

This is the ocean in which the smell of you

Cannot wash the tainted waters of my hurt, from my lungs

In this ocean of utter and complete despair

Your kiss cannot put the breath back into my body

 

My love, my life, you have become the death of me
