You feel it
the invisible
stone
the emptiness
alone
the heavy
nothing
that feels like
something
is invading you
upbraiding you
pulling your
without
within
and spitting it
out
again
on the inside
driving your spine
through to the outside
taking your breath
cold as death
dark hand gripping
tearing
ripping
there’s nothing
left
but you
bereft
and bleeding
empty
soul needing
Love.
