Poetry: If you were gone

How do you feel?
Agitated.
Do you often feel agitated?
No. Recently I just feel disjointed,
temperamental, inconsistent.
What makes you feel this way?
Life.
What stops it?
Him.
Tell me about him.
He helps me,
pulls me from the depths of my wallowing heart,
with just a word.
Which word?
Any word. It's not his words.
It's his voice.
His voice?
Yes.
No.
Tell me...
It's his presence.
When I'm with him he draws me away
and cocoons me,
protects me from the world.
When do you feel disjointed, temperamental?
When he's not there.
Where is he?
Gone.
My sanity goes with him.

    This raging, ranting psychotic

    Voices screaming deep within

    Wrestles against a laughing eternity;

    Reality invites

    If I Lost You

    If I lost you
    my world would fall apart,
    who would be around
    to mend this broken heart?

    If I lost you
    who would dry

    YOU WITHOUT ME

    Oh what can it be
    When I see you without me
    The uneasiness of it all
    And wrestling with my heart
    Of being alone
