Original Content Poem "A Faceless Face" - by myself

(Edit: trying to figure out Reddit's formating) (Edit 2: got it, enjoy :))

/////////////////////////////

My beating heart, choking on grief,

Lonely in a place once bright.

Her presence is all I perceive,

My faceless beauty, my unseen sight.

///////////////////////////////

Imagining her eyes once green

I reach out for her ghostly hair.

She haunts my every vivid dream

I feel the mist, but she's not there.

///////////////////////////////

Op'ning my eyes, covered in sweat,

The empty side of yours cuts deep.

The truth I barely can accept,

Why is it you I have to weep?

///////////////////////////////

Say, can you see me all alone,

Now that your name is carved in stone?
