Never Again

It is my destiny
An undeniable truth I have faced
A realization that cannot be hidden anymore
In solitude…
Barren
A wind that leaves me afraid and cold
The echoes of it’s presence
Following me wherever I may go

Reminding me of that last touch
That last whisper,
So sweet and gently placed upon my ears
To which I will never feel, nor hear
Once again

Alone
In a sea of awkward togetherness
Alone
I stand in silence
A vacancy never to be occupied
It’s cruel punishment cast upon me
Finding it’s refuge within my hollow spaces

Forever lost behind the walls of time
Each second, each minute, each hour
Ticking by, filling my mind
Painfully reminiscent of what should have been,
What could have been
And ultimately what needs to be again

It is a pain I live with
Every blistering scar across my heart
Wishing it would end, peacefully cease
Because holding onto the thought of ‘what it SHOULD be’
Is mere worse than the factual thought
Of ‘what it never CAN be’

@Ray, Thank you very much. That was my main intention–to get the readers lost in a flood of emotions.
