Empty chest

I sense your soul behind the shell of your chest, its pulsating.
I can see our past behind the curtain...Show me the beast within!
Hungry I stalk you for the woman you were,
complete and solid behind a wall of many cracks.

I seek you now and I call your name, I shout it!
When I sense the dampness of the cold creeping in,
I remain silent.

But every morning I wake up next to you,
I only awake for hopes, Ill see the woman I fell in love with,
and behind her eyes see the love she once had for me .

Hi, aaronyambrick,
To lie next to an Empty chest is most difficult for someone still with love's hunger...silent, shouting. Such a powerful write. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks everyone, screaming out loud. Right on the head.
