How can I describe the void
created by your absence?
A vast tall room with lights too bright,
where each sound echoes from the bare walls and floors
imitating life
my scattered thoughts gathered around the black gaping hole
in my heart
A glass dome around me not allowing others to come close,
afraid of my suffering, as if it were a contagious disease...
Leprosy of heart
Good people leaving crumbs of empathy,
glad they could aid without exposing themselves
to my pain,
they cannot cure or help.
So I am wandering aimlessly
alone
carrying a clapper and a bell,
walking half-dead through purgatory on earth.

Thank you, Cpat Hair
that’s because I know well that bleak place.

No, Eldest, not a nice place to be at all.

Thank you, passing shadows... you must miss him a lot..
