Wally's Words: Love's Black Hole - a poem
Everything with a nerve hurts
Chest pounding
Eyes heavy
Every breath feels faint
Like I’ve been running all day
How much longer I can go on
I really don’t know
My mind went days ago
And now my body is growing weary
My soul is yearning
My spirit depleting
Simple tasks are becoming conundrums
Normal functionality is slowly shutting down
Irritable doesn’t fully describe
Neither does deprived or famished
I feel completely void without you
If only you were here
I imagine it would only take
One kiss
One hug
One true embrace
To recharge and restore
Every broke down
Exasperated
Depleted
Fatigued
Molecule inside of me
To feel your spirit close to mine again
Is all I need
You are all I need
And that need is dire…
