Emotional Outburst

within depths of aching emptiness
brought low by the loss of one so loved
I tear each breath from the icy reality that they are gone
the space in front of me echoes with their absence
my heart like lead burns in my empty chest
what I wouldn't do for just one more glimpse
just one whiff of her smell
the touch of her hand
the sound of her voice
