There are nights i wake only to sob, there are nights i wake calling your name. It is your face that haunts my dreams, your sweet smile, the sound of your voice, the smell of your hair. It is your name that is carved in my chest. Even though you're gone away from me. There is no pain greater, no sorrow that can surpass, no grief that could overpower what i feel now that you're gone. There is a horrible cold inside my bones, inside my heart, where you used to be. Is there balm in Gilead? If i succumb to this piercing ache will i be accepted into warm, loving arms? If i lay down to sleep, never to wake, will you be waiting for me at the gates? 2008-02-18T14:06:26Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/21635 <p>Thanks for the clarification. I appreciated the somewhat obscure biblical reference there. Kind of makes me think of &#8216;Don&#8217;t Fear the Reaper&#8217; by Blue Oyster Cult in theme.<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/21635?basename=42036 2008-02-18T14:06:26Z THX 0477 http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477 <p><b><strong>i just want everyone to know, this isn&#8217;t suicidal.
