Swallowed

Some days

It is just too hard loving you

As I do

Some days

I just want to turn away

From remembering how my love

Fell into the empty well

Of your being

There was not even a sound

I could decipher

As my feelings fell down

Deeper and deeper

Into that black hole

Of neglect

And often I just forget this

When my illusions lie

To me

How can it be

That this brace around my heart

Feels it will strangle me

But every time we part now

A deeper understanding

Deep within me grows

As the wordless part of me

Grasps the truth

That you and I

May for ever and ever

Be strangers to one another

And you may never

Truly know my soul

You see between us both lately

I so often only feel

My hunger

Faced with an aching void

As deep within my heart

I sense

The unbearable silence

Which threatens

To swallow me whole
