Abyss

Words once written live
Like soundless ghosts
Broken text that echo
Hearts unspoken

Quiet moments 
Lest you jest

Memories that fade
Old friends who've said goodbye
I know you so well
Yet you're stranger than strange to me

A force I'll never know 
A face I'll never forget

A voice that haunts my soul

Freedom 
 
Love lost

Questions without answer

It all drifts away
Fragments
Splinters
Emotion too fleeting to capture

Let it roll
Let it flow

I'll never write the way I wrote for you
Never feel the way I felt
So fully alive
So intense, so pure

And the truth of it
Is death anew
