Sinking into Nothingness

your words as always
flowed so freely
I'd read them many
times before
your heart was filled
with love and
passion
I saw your hopes
and dreams
exposed

it could only be for us
couldn't it

my heart soared on
the wings of
doves
a thousand
maybe more

but then the dawning of
understanding
spread slowly
over me

I read a little deeper
their meaning became
clear
and sinking like a weighty
stone
thrown into a
millpond
my heart hit an all time low
drowned in
hurt and sorrow

your words are like
a lover's
caress
they play the heart
string well
oh how I wish that it
was me
who inspired those words
so true

now I'm sinking into
nothingness

GONE...
without a trace
