dwindling

Lying in bed, knees curled, I can feel the energy that pulsates through me being pulled from every limb and taken. I lay there empty, convulsing with grief, blinded by tears and swollen eyes, with aching abs and heart. Arms hugging his picture to my chest. Why?... repeating over and over again in my head. I cry till the tears no longer fall. No energy to leave my bed, the hours pass by in sad silence, still clenching the picture tightly to my chest. Attempt to fall asleep but sleep won't come, another day passes, motionless. Hope and minutes dwindle in unison.
