All of you that I keep

In the emptiness,
I feel your presence,
Quietly weeping still,
The bloodied tears,
Of guilt and shame,
Of old pain,
I reach out,
Feeling nothing,
The silence stretching,
Final threads on sanity breaking,
Snapping,
I can't hear you anymore,
And it's driving me crazy,
To not be able to hold you,
Like I once did,
Am I sinking in the past?
I want to let go,
But this time,
He holds me close,
His are the arms,
That bear me to bed,
His the kisses that cover my forehead,
The voice in the night,
That whispers me to sleep,
His, all his,
Memories,
That's all of you that I keep.
