A Sense of Emptiness
A SENSE OF EMPTINESS
Empty I feel inside,
No emotions left within since you died,
A black blankness that drains
a hollow heart remains.
Shackled to chasmic chains,
Leftover is a shallow shadow, wide..
A null void consumes me,
Sensations have been sucked out, all thoughts flee,
Nothing lingers behind,
Not a word in my mind.
Stark vacuum I find,
A zilch devoid of tender tendency..
A vacancy that tugs
these numb heartstrings, as unfeeling soul chugs.
This life slowly goes on,
But you are dead and gone.
Alone and woebegone,
I struggle with silent shivers and shrugs..
In this vague state, I choke,
Ah! To join you! I await death's one stroke!
To you, my dry tears plead,
In grave's abyss, I bleed,
You're free. I'm not yet freed.
Nothingness envelopes me like a cloak.
