Without.

Without.

You make somebody your everything,
And the two of you continue through life,
Flying, suspended on perpetual wings.
They take your breath away,
They quicken your pulse,
Suddenly,
Everything has a purpose – a meaning.
You go on through life,
Day by day,
Week by week,
Month by month,
Year by year.
The love grows,
Your Heart slowly begins to pack its bags,
It’s planning on leaving you, now.
Your Heart has found a new home,
And you’ve never been more proud to see the precious thing go.

Suddenly,
They’re gone.
Ripped out from under you.
Your life,
All of the elements that now made YOU,
Collapse in rapid fire succession,
Crescendo.
Execution style.
You’re becoming weak,
You can’t think,
Breathe,
Eat,
Sleep.
Everything became nothing.
You are nothing.

Hah.
You are EVERYTHING.
Take that blank slate,
Hold it above your head!
Wear it like a badge of honor!
Survive on intuition,
Catch droplets of caustic acid rain in a goblet and drink it down.
You are impervious.

Empty?
You’re simply waiting to fill yourself again.
A retention pond of endless potential.

Without them you are nothing?
Fool.
Without them you are everything.
Everything you lost,
Everything you were,
Everything you never achieved,
Every dream not yet gained,
Every breath yet to be savored.

You are every honest kiss,
Passionate embrace,
Longing touch,
Exponential ecstasy.
You are everything,
Because you became nothing.

I am nothing.
I am everything.
I cannot be created nor destroyed.
I am passion.
I am love.
I am success.
I am honor.
I am ecstasy.
I am seduction.
I am you.
I am everything.
Without you.

    It takes a lot to put it all out there.
    Good Job.

  2. I came by out of curiosity. Clearly your writing intrigued me enough that I had to leave a comment ;).
