I have been untethered!
The threads that anchored and defined me lay shredded
Your departure has left me floating free and scared
Into a vast friendless and featureless void
Heightened neurons fire fiercely and erratically
Feeding inflaming panic spiralling ever tighter bound and around
Unable to find direction
There is no longer an up or a down
Desperately grappling for a foothold
Where there is none to be found
I’ve lost complete focus of meaning
Adrift aimlessly out of bound

Now that you’ve gone
All meaning has crystallised as you
The only direction that remains
Are memories in lieu
Constantly shivering I clamour for warmth
Clinging to Sonshine in order to survive
Tempering warmth with sanity
No closer or I will be burnt alive
Knocking continually at my door
Sometimes the baby, often the boy, too rarely the man
For my own sake I dare not let you inside
Transfixed I stand and stare; your greatest fan

“I need A HUG!”
