Work = Force x distance

Work requires energy.

Can you really miss someone you don't know?

How much energy say in joules, does it take to completely shut someone out?

To push them so far away you'll never see, hear or know them again.

I wonder if I'll ever feel the need to do that. What does it feel like?

It must be horrific. Like opening the space shuttle door outside the atmosphere. The sound alone would freeze you if the sudden change in temperature to absolute zero didn't.

Energy, expending energy missing a creature that has expended exponentially more...

All things work towards equilibrium. The energy must be disbursed and absorbed. Utilized.

How much energy does a look of bewilderment take, how much to completely clear the brain of all thought, add in some tears, some grasping for straws, labored breathing, a couple sleepless nights. Prayers of forgiveness, healing for the hurt.

I'm sure I've left things out...I'll never possess the energy to do such a thing.

I hope not anyway.

Beautiful, my friend. Well-expressed. Breathe. No platitude I can share will help. May this cup pass from us.

I'm thinking it's not terribly interesting. What is interesting however is that I was just reading this myself last night. Can't say why.
