Empty Space

Gone Leaving no trace It’s like I’m on a train drifting into space I’m traveling to a place of no return Leaving a space empty and cold, Every moment I turn around and glance, For I miss your face In this place In a winter storm, It’s bare and freezing Lonely and away from everyone else I look up, down, and many times around But I see nothing Because you are not here In a fall gaze, Leaves falling all over the place Staring into the sky It’s like a whole new place But when I turn around Thinking that you are there, You have just disappeared Summer is now coming It’s hot and humid It is the best But I have nobody to share it with Because you are not here, It almost feels like it’s just a waste Spring has arrived All the bunnies are coming out to play, I watch them as they go Leaving not a pathway or a trace I was hoping I would see you With that smile on your face There was nothing left Just an opened, abandoned place It’s a space that no one can fill Only you can You have taught me about life, love and peace And my time will come I think about the space you left and Try to fill it up But with what!? You won’t come back and I have lost time with you It was everything to me, The place that we shared But before long, That too Will be gone.
