Void

Words have become the space between us
The very expressions that originally bound our lust

Now an ever growing chasm of emotional turmoil
Hatred looms above us like a gargoyle

Pride swells while our hearts buckle from the pain
Our once fertile ground tainted by this acid rain
All we had, now washed away

Drenched in tears I turn my cheek
Hope forever expired cause we no longer speak
Head once held high, now lowered and meek

Darkness my new home
My unwelcome abode, where I live alone
Light a stranger in these places not shown

Blindly I now stumble through life
Desperate outstretched arms searching to find a way to bring peace to my troubled mind at the loss of my wife
