Unbearable

I cherish your being

hold you to my heart

thoughts of losing you

pounding nails of despair

bruised emotional exhaustion

pondering whether your existence

will carry over into the morrow

life threatening to swallow you

leaving me thirsty and bereft

unfinished and suffocating

my flailed spirit will lose

its passion, a violin missing

its strings of resonance

my love gluing you to my soul

Stay a while before you leave

and I will breathe deeply for you

enfolding you in my heart, forever.
