Without

♫...Without you, I'm without...♫

♫...I'm crossed out...♫

~Ashlee Simpson~

I feel a deep void-- inside.

Something is missing-- inside.

An element crucial to life has been stripped from-- inside.

And now everything good around me is a blur, a cluttery mess-- obscured by emotional chaos, unable to be appreciated as it should.

I walk, talk, sit, and eat in a robotic daze, staring off into a blank space, an empty place-- unable to focus or care.

I've been wiped out. I am erased.

No longer alive-- a hollow shell, I continue to live.

♫...And now you've taken part of me...♫
