Words words words
Meaningful look
Compassionate sounds
Arms reached out
Moving me this way
Now that
Guiding me here
Set me down
Afraid to touch to hard
Like transparent air
Not flesh and bone
More words, sounds
Assurance, promises
Meaningless
Uncomfortable silence
Restless movements
He slowly leaving
Drawing away
From unknown pain
Backwards glance
Door shuts
All alone
Silence surrounding

FORTRESS FALLS



This is my new life




Alone, cold




No promises




For tomorrow



No place with you




Snatched up




From my very





Embrace



Taking out a scoop




From my chest



No blood to run out




Just an empty



Throbbing cavity



Bereft of what once




Made me alive



Gone is my heart




Gone are you



GONE, Gone, gone
