Afflicted

I have a hole left in my life by a love I once had
A screaming void that aches with a cold indescribable
It pulls me from behind as I try to escape its grasp
Leeching the crisp colours of life I once knew

Forever is still in my heart a life without end in my grasp
But my view is touched by loss deep and cruel
I plead silently for this to end regardless the means

A war rages between my heart and my mind relentlessly
As I try to remember life before the one that left this hole

I bleed slowly as the wound seems not to heal
