Desires Emptiness

It is hard to miss something that is not 
Easier to miss concept of what mind leads to be 
To find an emptiness in the heart beat 
Is to find a desire one wish to experience 
Our emotions rather fiction or non 

They are always the same without change 
Is it we look for ourselves in depths of our soul 
To fulfill a need of love that already exist 
With just a smile we feel joy 
So I ask,is it concept of idea that is vacant 
Or the soul to which seeks light 

To live your heart is to breathe 
As each man bleeds the same also 
What is it we live not that we die 
That we live our true selves 
The plea of insanity or a picture we paint 
Who are we to which we portray 

A myth,an unbelief into the darkness of hell 
Desires Emptiness, peace of mind or elusion 
How is it we find such seclusion 
That we lay to sleep even in turmoil 
Our own heart's slave to secretly vow 
Still thriving to death we carry to our grave 
The same desire, emptiness shared in silence
