My existence

by mike ernst   Jan 27, 2012


I watch as the sun sets and feel the burning of its weight on my empty chest
I feel the labored pulsing of my broken half heart
as it tries to push what life is left inside me through
deadened veins

The distant wails of a shattered soul in search of its
missing yet omnipresent mate echo in the caverns of my mind that once held only hopes and dreams

Soon darkness comes before me bringing shadowy
images of a lost love dancing with dripping eyes
mocking my pain

Once again I close my eyes just to catch a glimpse
of her for a moment, but just as she reaches for me I
once again find myself aware that she is gone and I
return to this deservingly tortured existence
