Save Our Souls

Chapter 2

Ok it's not really chapter 2 (nothing to do with save our souls-sorry!) but I just need some honest opinions on this next piece of writing. I don't know whether it's good or not so feedback in the comments would be fantastic. It's only short so won't take too long. Thanks!

One day you walked out of my door and out of my life.
Now whenever I call all I hear is the automated voicemail because you were too lazy to change it. So your voice is lost to me, slowly becoming a distant memory.
A faded photograph is all I have: you always hated having your picture taken. So even your features are just a faint imprint in my memory.
Now all my messages are left hanging...you never did answer about dinner on Tuesday.
How many times can you re read a message before the words are embedded into your mind? How many times can you revisit an old memory before you feel sick from the pain? Wishing to live that moment again, no matter how ordinary it had felt at the time. Desperation and longing just to speak to you again almost leads to madness. Imagination running wild when pretending we are speaking once again, hearing you laugh, hearing your voice and the things you would say.
Regrets for things not said, time wasted in pointless arguments when all that really should have been said was 'I love you'.
The heart may ache but it's the gap in the everyday life that hurts the most.
The messages will remain unread, the voicemails waiting to be heard. How many times will I carry on like this, waiting for it all to start again? Picking up the phone and praying for you to answer like you did before.
Now all I have is the print of your name on a stone, and when I wish to hold you once more, stretch out my hand to yours, to link them once again, the most I can do is lay flowers at your side.
Because as the door swung shut behind you, fate made sure it would forever be locked.

So what do you think??
