Between a laugh and a tear...

RECOIL

Your chill breath
escapes
the emptiness of the chasm
of my long forgotten touch
while your body
long since cold
recoils

The withered remnants
of this heart
hang, defeated
oozing black
the scraps of a love,
long since dead

And still you sleep
soundly
in desolation of the knowledge
that this soul
that can love
no more
returns
to the darkness

ouch...

Not the kind of thing I'd hoped to find when I tuned back in to my friends in the blue...   

Great sifting though, written well

hugs! g

I know this feeling well . . . too well and am sorry you have to feel it too.

it is a most lonely place to be.
