Devin W. Boone

By xZombie Poptartzx

I hear my heart drop.
like a pin on a glass floor.
In my chests empty space,
where it once washed ashore.


Echoing through the hallway
where I used to hear your voice.
Ripping apart my seams,
but I fear It's not by choice.


I once held an ounce of sanity
but you borrowed it when you left.
My chest now feels completely empty,
and my closet, a terrible mess.


The closet where I've kept my thoughts
and my already miniscule ability to cope.
Not sure I can regain those things,
and I'm beginning to lose all hope.


♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 

Your shadow floats across the room
and I start to feel un-stable.
What used to be a promising young boy
is now the silhouette of an angel.

    My bestest friend in the whole wide world died from cancer. we were friends for over 25 years. She died so young. Her husband didn't like me so when she died I had to hear it on the radio. Life is so fleeting. I love your poem.

    Love this, so hard to lose someone and even harder to capture how lost one feels after they're gone.
