This is such wisdom. I have two interpretations of the emptiness in my head. Either it's the craziness of wanting him back or the loneliness of not having him back. You captured it all.

Have you never been lost in a relationship that was bad for you? Like an addiction, self destructive, abusive, losing your sense of self? Rest assured, it is an old poem ;) xomo

Lol! I actually shut down in conflict. I consider it more of a desperate write; if there is anger, it is towards the self for having gotten there. ;) xomo
