I can not pretend today.
I can't imagine you're still here.
But somehow I can't comprehend
a world without you near.

I look the same--
my voice unchanged--
my days go on in the same way...
But only half of me remains
in pantomime of yesterday.

Solaced words are meaningless,
although intent is kind.
I pray to dream a dream of you--
to see you one more time.

And yet I lie awake at night
afraid that I might sleep.
I fear I will dream dreams of you,
and wake again to weep.

I won't say goodbye again.
I can't leave you twice.
I sleep-walk through a day's pretend,
and bury you each night.

Celeste, a loss is so hard to bear isn't it??  I don't think I'd worry too much about this being on the dark side. I find it heart revealing as I read it along with your explanation.
I enjoyed the thought very much and know where it comes from.

Serenity darling girl this is an absolutely wonderful piece from you. I love it, The flow and the structure of this is excellent,. You really are a fine writer. I can really feel this deep in my soul, talking to me in that place where heart’s sorrow reside.

This is exquisite writing darling absolutely exquisite, I love it utterly utterly


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh
