of all the things to take
my heart
still beating from my chest
my breath
still in my lungs
so I sit empty, breathless

in a vacuum
limbo
surreal

you float in space
cold, freezing
even thoughts are suspended
animation in the void

pleading, I cry
breaking, I reach
terrified, I hope

don’t leave me here in nothing
waiting
anxious

time and space are
meaningless
when you have the power
to overcome them

God, reach through
put my heart back
so I can live
breathe
move
love
faithfully
