Silent Hearts

I've held the universe in my hand.
I've looked time in the face and been told the history of all there is and ever was and ever will be.
And yet I hunger for the one thing that keeps me impeccably human.
The one thing that I can never have again and that is you.
I am deeply saddened that I will never again see your eyes glint in the moonlight as you wonder about the stars.
I will not hear your laughter resonate in my rib cage as you lay your chest to mine.
I will not be able to caress your satin skin or tuck your silk hair behind those ears that lay gently to your head.
I will not do any one of those actions again.
With you or anyone else. For you have left, never to return to me.
You have been taken.
Ripped from my universe.
Torn from my hands and yet I still see you in everywhere I look,
I hear your whisper in every sound,
I feel you deep within my soul.
You are bound to me forever and that is the greatest and most awful burden I could ever hope to bear.
