# Just Like The Living Dead Poem by astaldo ELVEN

I looked out of the window
Had a sudden urge to break down
The night was so saddening
Drawing back those painful memories

The times we had spent together
Etched forever in my memory
Great moments, upsetting times
Days of both gratitude and sorry

Everything vanished in the twinkling of an eye
So heart-wrenching indeed
The day you left my side I cried
Since then, loneliness crept into me

I looked into the gloomy night sky
That seemed to be weeping
My windows caught its tears
And presented them to me

The stars were down and drowned
My heart sank and grew weary
Light was nowhere to be found
And my eyes began to close

A gust of bitter wind swept past
And my cheek immediately froze
Cold like ice, and extremely numb
And I felt so uncomfortable- head to toe.


Without you around
I was so afraid that I shrunk
The fear was inexplicable and I
Grabbed my teddy, squeezed it tight

Without you around
I cried till my eyes were sore and
Sadness and sadness was all I found
From the disappearance of you from my world.

Without you around
I felt ever so numb, so numb
I saw nothing, felt nothing and heard no sound
I was just like the living dead.
