Poetry

In Your Absence

written by: Mike Basile

Our celestial bond is once again perverted,
tainted as I bridge the gap of our worlds.
The darkness surges through it and to me;
hopelessly emanating a sense of loss.
Oh how it consumes me, eroding my will.
How fatally I call out, in hope of a yell returned.
But this is as vein as my dreams.
And so I trudge, destructively contemplating,
"Fated to be so close, for so short a time
And so impassibly far, for far longer."
But now I have stretched our union to its limit,
any feeling of you extinguished as would a flame.
And I am left to consider what is more daunting,
the overwhelming embodiment of loss
or the emptiness that permeates now.
Cursed to live in a state of eternal limbo,
forever damn the God that destined this.
And forever damn the blade that ended it all.
