It comes to me at night.In the time between closing my eyesand opening them,it tears me up and I bleed again.Quietly, my mind in pieces,I am forced to rebuild what remains, buthow can I expect to survive today,being all of this, broken?It comes to me again now...Now a grip that chills my heartinto beating faster, now teeth to rake mylungs, holding breath.I lay still, here,blinking away the dark...and failing to patch the holeyou left behind.

I know this is a little heavy for a Monday morning, but how does this make you feel?

wow - I am not sure - our neighborhood lost a very young adult this weekend and it makes me think of her family and the hole she has left behind. But she didn't get to decide whether or not to leave that hole - maybe I am not the one to ask. 8-)
I'm reaching for this *points to pint of gin on the rocks*...so do you really need to ask??
I think that I just felt something squeeze my heart.
it would make me scared to go to sleep and leaves me a little depressed.
It makes me remember some lonely nights in my past when I ached for people who I'd love and left me. When I didn't know or believe that life was going to get better someday.
Luckily it has.
It makes me tired. Sad and tired.
My daughter died 3 years ago and I still feel like that every night.
Um, really sad. How about we save this stuff for Sunday nights, when I'm depressed already? Thanks.

Moonspun: I think this is also part of the writer's intent.
Lola: I agree. More of the sad, though.
