    I got your letter today
    And I can barely say
    The thoughts I'm thinking now
    Won't come out of my mouth

    I passed you on the street
    And I couldn't feel my feet
    Wish I had you in my arms
    Under the stars

    And I can see you in my dreams
    Is it just me or so it seems
    I have no one to live for
    Anymore

    When I speak your name at night
    And I turn off all the lights
    I can feel the hollow
    And the burning of my soul

    Tell me it's not true
    I can't talk to you
    I lost what meant most
    And what I have to live for

    Anyone who's obsessed with rock's one true god is okay with me! I like the fact that you married free verse here with the conventional by allowing units to control your lines. "I can feel the hollow...." I've been there, know what you mean.

    Yeah... it pretty much just flowed out of my soul during class a few days ago. I kind of wanted it to be traditional yet contemporary... a little bit of everything.

    Very well written, so full of passion and loss. I feel your burning, like a star whose binary partner has spun off... imploding with the loneliness, not wanting to radiate in aloneness. Yet, I also hear a very quiet voice within you that asks to be seen in silence and is muted in the outward search.

    Leaves crunch under my feet
    As I walk this hollow ground
    Soggy blades laden with dew
    Dare not make a sound
    And all throughout the cemetary
    False echoes come and go
    What remains of what has been
    Surely I'll never know
    And what may have started
    And what may have been
    From dust to ashes and in between
    Is nothing but a simple dream
