Reality Now

Every night for the last six months...

...nearing

 exhaustion

 heart

 racing,

 body

 covered 

in 

sweat,

I 

frantically 

try

 to

 reach 

you...

I run

 into 

consciousness

screaming

my

 heart 

pounding

bed

 soaking

 wet

I search

 desperately 

for you

in the darkness

but

 your 

not

 there

and you haven't been

for a very long time

Oh wow. Longing, emptiness, loneliness... The feelings always magnified at night.
Nicely penned.

No one knows the agony of loss and longing better than someone who experiences it...your words paint a vivid picture of such desperation and the pain of realizing that person is still gone is palpable...great writing...
