You destroy our yesterdays
just to set the sea on fire.
You're crossing over my enemy lines
and re-inventing my boundaries.
Moments like these,
few and far between.
I remember nights
spent with you by my side
inhaling your unwanted breath.
My wishful eyes watching
your unsteady hands.
Lips moving.
My heart aches at all the emptiness
that you left in your wake.
It echoes and vibrates
right down through my soul.
So I'll strip this down
and break it into smaller pieces
to resemble what you did to my heart.
Your voice still haunts my waking life.
May your nights be spent
with you crying yourself to sleep
in the arms of suicidal depression.
I wish I could recall the happiness
That we held in between the halves
of our hearts
but you've left me with nothing more
than an eternity of red.
Your eyes always fade to the hollow that is you.

And Trista thank you very much. Your words are heartfelt.
Wow!
You've done it well in this poem, Danielle. I hope it was cathartic. I know all too well the emptiness you speak of. It's like AA's or something -- you have to take it one day at a time, one hour at a time and sometimes moment to moment. It's been moment to moment for awhile with me. Thanks for opening your heart and sharing the pain. Cheers.
