Emptiness

Emptiness is something that grows deeper every day.
                  It hides amongst the chores and obligations,
           It awakens you in the morning and tucks you in at night.

                     It comes to you during quiet moments
                        Ever present, throughout the day; 
                    disguised behind cheerful conversation            
                    and strong will,yet it never goes away.

                      Emptiness breathes on your neck, 
                 with taunting whispers of hearten fulfillment, 
                    But the echoing in you ear is silence.

Judy Ball June 23, 2018 at 2:51 PM Exceptional Paulette. Been there, done that didn't dig it. It's important to remember that happiness is a decision we make. It's hard to be alone but you can still make yourself happy. Just get out there and get busy doing something you enjoy. Happiness will come to you. God Bless, JB Paulette Calasibetta June 23, 2018 at 4:31 PM Again, Thank You Judy....and your positive advice is appreciated. I must say when I wrote this I was in a difficult place, however, I have moved on as you say "doing something you enjoy"....and now I am doing just that! Take Care!
