empty space between

I awoke in the darkness,
an empty space between,
in a cold and crinkled place where your body had been,
alone in times atmosphere,
trying to hold it together,
trying to play the part,
while the emptiness drifted us further apart,
lost and afraid,
tears becoming a strange friendly consolidation,
the more I cried,
the more my soul died,
pieces becoming fragments few and fare between,
lost in the mist no ending could be seen,
forever waiting for your heartbeat to be felt,
just barely breathing,
living the hand you so willingly dealt .
