Without You

Nothingness,
The absence, of only your presence.
Like the vacuum of space, everything sucked out,
Exploding the body into tiny bits.
Soul screaming; Why oh God?
The realization of death and the meaning of life,
At the same time.
Where body and soul part.
One gone forever, the other reborn.

Absence of light and sound.
Deprived of every sensation.
Knowing no time or place.
Receiving no touch or simple smell.
Where nothing blends with the living body
No way to tell.
Feeling completely lost, no direction to go.
All hope gone, will to live forgotten.

Make it stop, my love.
No soul can endure nothingness.
Keep our circle complete.
No beginning, and no end.
Our souls contained in the sphere we make.
Leaving nothingness,
Locked outside.
