In The Silence

In the silence
And the darkness
The night all around me
Consumed by my loneliness

The bed in which I lie
Once was ours
But now its cold and empty
Like my aching heart

I drift in and out of sleep
Waking suddenly
Reaching out for you
To find nothing…you are gone

Tears silently track my face
As I look around the room
The very room I walked onto a week ago
The day that my whole world fell down around me

Blonde locks spilled onto the pillow
A naked torso…bodies entwined
The look of horror on your face as you saw me
Your voice still now….echoing in my head as I ran away screaming

Now I am here alone
The house that once was our wonderful home
Is now my cold dark prison
Tortured by the demons which are the memories of you

My life feels worthless
You’ve taken my soul away
Ripped out my heart
And left me….an empty existence

I walk the grey streets in the daytime
Wandering…going nowhere
Tears in my eyes…staring at the pavement
Wishing you would come home and release me from this pain

But I’m still here
Still trapped
Lost without you
Totally alone

In the silence
In the darkness
The night all around me
Consumed by my loneliness
