Never have felt

Abandonment is frightening
the taking away of love
leaves you lost somewhere
groping... drowning
water logged lungs gasping
your heart seared with the burning
endless seeming pain
stumbling to hang on to
the precipice... of what?
The ceremony of love's leave taking
has happened...
your world is burdened
with an endless darkness
as if the sun hides just from you
there's not enough love
in the world
worth this suffering
it is an annoyance
I wish I could push away
and never have felt...
