         Emptiness walks within me where she was
           and the days have become like months.

         Last night I went to her for rest
           but I lay open beside her to no avail.

         Something's gone, and I'm not sure what...
           some of it is my dominance of her,
         and some of it is the loss
           of my certainty of her regard,
         and some of it is my choice
           to avoid such rest stops,
         and some is my emotions
           blocking my vision of what it was
              that brought me here.

         It all will pass with time,
           says my reason,
              screams my mind....
