Empty Replaces Nothing

her face was empty
she was empty
he was nothing
they were empty

empty was their love
nothing were their souls

nothing would take it all away
empty it all away
and find nothing there but what is yours


His voice was nothing
her hands were empty
they were

When empty replaces nothing
when something is an item ort a feeling
when nothiong becomes something
when empty is fulfilled
you will see all your wishes
and all my desires
and drain those away and replace the questions with answers

For empty replaces Nothing
nothing replaces empty
i was empty now replaced
replaced with something
and something gave me everything
