Nothing For Contest

I am nothing
Just a void
An empty space
Vacant and sad
A silent tear follows every visualised smile
Salty eyes too tired to see
Weary and fragile
I am lost
Alone

I am nothing
Just a void
An empty space
You now just a memory
Etched into my heart
Gone from my life 
Isolation and loneliness too much to bear
Silence forever more
Bereft by your absence

I am nothing
Just a void
An empty space
The missing piece 
Without you I do not exist
A soulless living body
Now a shell
Existing until death frees me 
I am nothing
Just a void
An empty space
