The absence of your touch
stilled this beating heart
hardening in the silence
where your voice used to echo
among the dreams that reside
behind closed eyes at night.
Cobwebs of forgetfulness
blended with the shadows
dulling once bright eyes
now vacant in solitude
filling up with tears
that cascade in torrents.
No more room for warmth
the fire has already burned down
the coldness of abandonment
left this heart a derelict
adrift in the endless sea
of forgotten memories.

I love your writing…and your writing style.
reminds me a bit of someone i used to know…reminds me of me as well…
thank you carrie. maybe i could read your works as well? 🙂
Thats so sweet of you…and if you’re really interested i would love that..some feed back would be awesome! Guess i’ll have to start a blog?!?
I am interested. 🙂 It wouldn’t be such a bad idea to start a blog just to get your writing out there. We can swap ideas too. 😀
Thanks!! And i suppose your right..couldnt hurt..
but until then, here’s a lil something..and your honest opinion would be nice…
Inches, months, years
I measure your absense
with the spaces between my finget tips
and yours
the gaps between my ribs
The seasons without light
….the length between the stars and the moon
on my ceiling
the pieces of humanity scattered about my floor
the many ways i’ve lost my self
and how often i find a sliver
the sluggish beat of my heart as i wither into my tea cup
the fragments of life still left in my limbs.
the creases in the flesh beside the eyeballs, against the chimes of a grandfathet clock in my dreams… if i dream . by this count it has been exactly five lifetimes, give or take one.
