Empty
And when I learned that you died
How can I describe
The empty
Empty
Empty
You were my boxer in the night
Sparred with you
About every aspect of
Life
My secret tonic
Made everything
Feel alright
Got me through it all
All the frustrations
Disappointments of
Life
And when I learned that you died
How can I describe
The empty
Empty
Empty
We called each other friend
Even when
Our bodies came together
That single
Lunatic
Moment
That single
Lunatic
Time
And it felt so
Full
You made me feel
Full
How can I describe
The full
Full
Full
My life was full
When you laughed
It felt so full even
When you
Cried
The times I was mean
And my body left
Your body
After
That single
Lunatic
Time
And so we pretended
We were just
Friends
In the end
We pretended
Then
And now you’re
Gone
And I can barely speak
Or write
I can barely write
A
Single
Meaningful
Poetic
Word
And there’s a quiet room
In my mind
Where your laughter
Once
Played
My innocent child
Woman
Gone
Away
How can I describe
The Empty
Empty
Empty
How can I describe
The empty
Empty
Empty
How can I describe
The
Way
I
Feel?
