Goodbye
I try to hear you but
I can no longer listen
my thoughts are askew
my mind is amiss
I stare but cannot see you
I reach out but cannot feel you
I breathe you in but cannot smell
We are together
yet so alone
wasting away
in each others presence
waiting
to say
goodbye

…but we never will, because we are perfectly suited in our decline. Really liked what you did here Christine. Pardon my presumption in adding my two cents… 🙂

This captures withdrawal (from a person/situation) really well.
