The Emptiness
There is this sinking abyss
It's down inside
It's empty and longing
Moaning with an unsure agony
It shakes in terror
The emptiness cries out
No, It screams daily
"Give me what I want"
It's demands mean
Life or death
Sounding pathetically addicted
The question is
Do I give It what It craves
Handing over all my knowledge
Or do I suffer in silence
And in return gain
Great wisdom and health
