I’ve been up all night,

Running circles in my mind.

Not by my design,

I’ve been running on empty.

Unusually I,

Let the doubts takeover.

Thoughts on overtime

But I can’t stop

Watch this sickness,

Seep in every recess.

Transgressed, regress

Steals without the redress.

Slipping through my fingers,

Hold your hand so tight.

Curse the light for leaving.

Kiss your head goodnight.

Goodbye.

How do I describe

All these thoughts and feelings?

Shifting paradigms.

Metaphysical endings.

So neutralised,

Fail to surmise.

Eyes resigned

Softly screaming

Adieu. Each breath a heartbreak anew. Adieu.

Let go. I feel your soul departing right in front of me, yet don’t leave.

Let go. I know you’re hurting now but every part of me wants you to stay.

Just then I knew.

Time stood still.

All felt new.

And the absence of you,

Hung in the air like a silence.

Grief struck, heartbroke with such violence.

It’s over now, the room implodes with anguish.

Distraught and how, scrambling to find breath.

The thought so loud, this can’t be.

This night will stay a while,

But for now I’m content to cry out.

Adieu. Now we’ve done all we can do. Adieu.

Adieu. Learn to move on without you. Adieu.
