Last week's piece:

 

 

Your harsh words still ring in my ears

Still waiting for you to come back, the hours feel like years.

Pounding in my temples, I must be having withdrawals

"It's okay, she always does this. She disappears, then she calls..."

But every time I ask myself

What if this is it?

What if it's the last time?
What if she's gone for good?

What if without me, she's just fine?

The dampness lingers behind my eyes

I've fallen to my knees

She refuses to hear my cries

She still ignores my pleas.

So many try to get through

Yet only she can phase me.

Like a tree, I'm planted to her love

She is the wind that sways me.

Emptiness surrounds me

Where her arms used to hold me.

I'm searching for her in every corner

She's destroying me slowly

I'd give it all to you

Although I'm sure you're unaware of it

If you need proof, have my heart.

Just please - take good care of it.

 

-I can only give so much before I have nothing left.
