Crumbling

With each word, I fall deeper
into this emptiness called life.
With each breathe, I suffocate,
from all that has crowded inside.

Tired long ago, yet I still stand
centered in this maddening cycle.
Broken down, this strength fades
hurt by the growing void of love.

My warnings to you have failed,
persistence, resulting in your mistake.
My weakness for love, and hope
for it in my life was mine.

I thought I had found my partner,
who will help me see this through.
Instead, I feel I have a roommate
my love, this has become you.

I could not regret the memories,
you have given me so much.
Though I do wish I was whole,
so you don't drown with me.

Silenced by fears, I can't speak
to reveal how apart we are.
My love for you remains, only now
accompanied by the pain you bring.

I have lost my only friend here,
drifting away as a distant lover.
Your absence makes me push further,
leaving me little hope in darkness.

I tell no one, as I am all alone,
I cry for every bit of me left, as
I know where this path will end.
I am losing myself once again.
