The Void Within My Heart

September 15, 2013

My heart is overcome by frost and ice

The chill cuts through my very core

The beating slows and then ends completely

I have died after all this time

I feel nothing-- nothing at all.

I float quietly in my dark, ethereal prison

There is no noise, no sound

All is quiet for once

No voices in my head

No voices in my ears

Floating in this nothingness is quite peaceful

I have yearned for this quiet for all this time

The sound of the pain and suffering hurts

Everything has taken it's toll on me

My body is weary and my soul broken

I will float here for some time

Locked in my void of a prison

Until--

After what seems like an eternity,

I float down....down....down

Until a pair of arms wrap around me

And I hear a beautiful voice say:

"Wake up my dear, it's time to go."

I finally open my eyes...and see his face.

The one I love...the part of my soul is there.

He takes me away....far far away

He was in the nothingness, just like me

Now neither of us is alone.
