What would I do without you?

What would I do without you?

A Poem by Tks

Just last night
I appreciated with all of my might
What would happen if you left this world before me
Nay, I say, No!
I see no purpose for living, no reason for 
Spring to bloom
Summer to enjoy
Autumn to tuck in cosily

I see only Winter
The sharp, howling winds
The frostbites surround me with 
A marvellous vengeance
Mocking my earlier arrogance
The Earth dances with the Sun
Alas, the Moon!
Cheeky thing she is, 
She steals the show sometimes

The clock ticks away
Tick-tock
A second down
Tock-tick
Two seconds down
Is time on my side
The clock indeed has 
Two Cupid arrows
Don't be stupid
Tick-tock
My heart skips a beat
Tick-tock
Another beat is skipped 
I see you
Feel you
Smell your intoxicating scent
Another beat
A toast!
To my dark-haired damsel
Pour that disgusting concoction
Till we can't find our mouths no more
I am back in this damned darkness

Memories a gathering light
Normal people have no idea how beautiful the dark is
With you
It is getting dark, my love...
Very dark...
Very...
...

There is contrasts and imagery.... the poet chooses dark for a reason ....."The clock indeed has
Two Cupid arrows
Don't be stupid
Tick-tock".....is a very good expression.

I am kind of going through something like this right now
i am going into deep darkness
all it took is not seeing someone i once saw for seconds every morning
but he made me happy
without him i am withering and dying like a rose
all my petals fell
i am dying
my hair is falling
for real
i feel a big hole inside

Very beautiful. I especially loved the nice imagery of winter. Winter is always the loveliest season as it portrays cold hearts.

I felt my heart beat growing quick when I read this
What an interesting piece of work you have here
"Normal people have no idea how beautiful the dark is
With you"
Amazing piece of writing

Even the thought of losing someone precious...oh, dear, God is unfathomable. And the reason for existing is no more, because don't we all live for someone special? Don't we all hold on for someone dear?

I like how you described the loss of reason feeling like Winter and other seasons no longer are felt, no longer do exist.

And the last stanza is just haunting me:
"Memories a gathering light
Normal people have no idea how beautiful the dark is
With you
It is getting dark, my love...
Very dark...
Very...
...

The fears and tears of losing our loved ones, it feels very bad when someone special has to separate.
Then it feels like a wall of rigid bricks standing in middle of distances ,stopping us making harder to meet that lovable person.

Spidey. ...
