Shadow Dreams

Sensing the shadow of your heat, your warmth upon my skin, thump of a heart that still beats, reminding me that agony awaits within. The ghost of your arms surround, tears fall in endless streams, for you are nowhere to be found, I can only hold you in my dreams. Endless days, sleepless I lay. Terrified to shut my eyes, yet yearning to see your face, for the images are just lies, you're no longer a part of this time and space. Your voice echoes down the hall, my mind tormenting me more, for if I look my heart will fall, you're not here, so I ignore. I'm slowly unraveling at the seams, for I can only hold you in my dreams.
