The distance between
Your balmy zephyr like touch
And my once scarlet
Now bloodless lips
Is getting wider
The strong thick mantle of your embrace
Feels flimsy spectral and diaphanous
The dulcet sound of your voice
That swelled my heart with solace
Has receded beyond hoarse whispers
Puncturing my soul
In pitch black
Eclipse shaped bullet holes
And a smooth black silence
Has devoured every spec of possibility
That can be articulated by you or me
To stop this calamity
from reaching it's ******
But I'm still trying
Do you see
I'm stumbling and fumbling in the dark
Fervently wishing
For the sun to flare with a ferocious intensity
So I can look deep into your eyes
See If there's a splinter of feeling left
And search for the inexplicable reasons
For this abrupt loss emotions
And this unanticipated ending
