Empty Inside

(1/18/12) We know that we have an empty feeling inside Which we find hard to describe. A sense that something is lost And in our sleeping hours We turn and toss. What is this emptiness that controls My every thought and being It is something that I’m not seeing. It is a part of your body that had been taken away And you search for it day by day. Like a piece to a jigsaw puzzle Which leaves it incomplete Leaving you in total defeat. What happened to the love that once grew so strong And now it feels like it doesn’t belong. What happened to the feelings of happiness and joy And you loved it like a child with a toy. Where is that sense of being needed Like water to a plant, and bees to honey Like uncle scrooge to wealth and money. Then a thought occurred to me ! I had made space for all the other things in life, That I had forgotten, the thing that made me complete The love for god , with which nothing can compete. He gives us all the feelings that we have locked up inside And these are feelings that we must not hide. So to my lord up above, forgive me for Forgetting your love. “ YOU ARE WHAT MAKES ME COMPLETE”.
