My Emptiness Whole

Late into the night,
  the characters become real

As the words that I’ve written,
  cement and congeal

Late into the night,
  they take over my soul

My reality transformed
  —my emptiness whole

It's ok, Kurt. Your characters and you are substantially the same. Just don't tell them)
