monochrome

By Exodus

Life

A loss too great

And time

Just floats ahead of you


Not letting the fear

Of living

Get too close to you

And your “reality”


I bring my cold hand

To touch your face

But you’ve already numbed the pain


Under the circumstances

You can’t sleep

And you don’t eat

Just because


I’m still here

Don’t let there be an empty space

Don’t dig a hole through your heart

There is no need for tears tonight


The world already cries

Enough as it is


Don’t let there be another empty space

Don’t erase me

Just because I’m gone


My words go unheard


Because


You’re gone.

    I've read this no less than five times... and I feel like I learn something new about it each time. It's beautiful and amazing... I could spend hours contemplating every stanza. I wish I could figure it all out... I'll have to read more.

    Why is everything so sad at the moment... I dont know if this was supposed to make me cry or if its just the fact that my best friend hates me, oh well. I enjoyed this in the sense that it was thought provoking and made me feel emotion... Powerful Write..
