A Void

Where am I at fault?
I gave you all weight!

Then…

You threw your weight around
Crushed, depressed my soft ground
Till…

You could avert and avoid.
Now…

At last there was a void-
.
.
.
A deep one-
Into my heart.

A void. 
.
.
.
That drew into its darks
Those lovely gleams
My precious dreams!

I in-hale, I ex-hale 
From this void
.
.
.
I hear sighs and sobs
Echo silently
In this huge void.
.
.
.

I pull myself
With strings of prayers
And hold it together.

Is it time to divert?
Can I also avert?
And also give you a void?
