Emptiness

Around all material possessions, that I see each day, Emptiness abounds within, where I rest my thoughts, I come and go when times sets and rises, which, Parades around emotions, I have lost. My minutes spread outward, found nowhere. I can look, touch, but do not see or feel. Smells of you, still linger in this emptiness. Sensations grab my arrivals, departures. This empty apartment was only full with-- You, dedicating and dressing this abode, Our departing affections still haunt here. Even music has no echo, within these walls. Your tenure was the bass, treble of life No more reverberations from emptiness, My thoughts expand; though do not fill, What emptiness, you have left me to steal, Emptiness is unfilled, a space that surrounds. Without you, my life, I am an empty apartment. That shelters, not even me, as it seems. My desires weak, I exist in barrenness. For now and always, I have only inertness.
