They told me its gonna get worse
before it gets better.
Im afraid
they are right.
And tonight,
no amount of company,
comedy,
passion,
distraction,
attention,
friends,
family­,
or love
is enough to keep you
from filling every corner of my mind.
Hijacking every thought
and tearing down walls
that kept me safe.

Once again I'm reminded
there's no love like yours,
and it will take
every bit of my will
to keep cement from filling
the torn hole in my chest
and seizing my heart.
