here but nowhere now

i have returned to our city
a mere haunt of the past
walking down the empty streets
my echos seem to last.

"are you in here?"

my shattered voice floats
across a ruined sky
my answer was my echo
and i don't know why.

"I'm sorry"

a silent weaving through
the smashed foundations
i suddenly find myself alone
without an explantation.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

An unexplained ending leaves lots of unanswered questions. I feel for your pain. I hope all the best comes to you. Anyone going through this definately pays their dues
All the best. Sending a hug..I'm sure you could use one right about now. This is a very hurtful place to be.
Love,
Terri~

I liked this--it has the potential for much more though. You could express alot of inner thought through outer metaphorical visuals on this journey.

It's good as it is though. Good enough for me to ask for more, huh?

Well done.
