The emptiness resounds in my hearT, Hauntingly, until it seems to vanisH In the darkness. I use it as an alibI, Silently denying the fading echoeS.
Bittersweet thoughts of you disturB Reality's bleak image in the mirroR Of my pain. Memory's needles tatoO Kaleidoscopic patterns in misery's inK Entropy's cold hands overwhelm mE. No I cry in benumbed supplicatioN.
How can I live with this virulent anguisH Eating my soul? Knowing somewherE Another holds her fills me with nauseA. Restrained, I lie upon agony's altaR Tethered by an unforgetting hearT.
