holes

nothing_by_laory

wanderlust and romance, passion gone
astray, lingering just too long
sad forgotten yesterday…
when you no longer feel
the burning, the huge
gaping unfilled
holes,, become
shallow
graves..

    I love the way this narrows down to the singualr and lonely graves! Gives me shivers!

    A vivid description of numbness, the dead feeling after passion has faded.

    When all that remains is the husk of passion, it can be hard. Very hard.
