Elysium.
That’s how she looked.
Her eyes
Lit up my world
Like great quasars
In view of her cosmic smile.
Hell.
That’s how she felt.
Her touch
Corrupted my light
Like poison to the touch
And the taste of wormwood on my skin.
Empty.
That’s how she left me.
Her distant voice
echoes silently
In my broken mind
Traveling through the void of my now hollow soul.
I am become death.

The waiting is consuming,
It's a constant ticking clock,
Every second lasts an hour,
All else has been forgot.
The phone is at my fingertips,
The checking never stops,
But the light remains unblinking,
Keeping silent in its thoughts.
The longing grows unthinkable,
It's a pounding in the heart,
The butterflies are frantic
All hope is nearly lost.
I'm sitting on the edge of time,
It's racing slowly fast,
Waiting for just one small word,
Abandonment of any costs.
But it's unlikely that the wait,
Will bring the sweet hello,
The simple sound I'm waiting for,
For you to just say so.
