Vaccum

There's a void in you and me, its neither a friend nor an enemy. Its existence is a proof of loss, loss of someone dear. Loss of someone who's no more here. When your eyes can no more shed tears, when you have met your worst fear, when you suddenly can't feel any pain, when there's nothing left to complain. A void is created inside you. A bitter experience of your life, which time again will pierce you like a knife. But that void is not your foe, somewhere deep you already know. You feel pain cause you felt love, you cry because you also laughed. You miss because you felt the warmth. The void's a proof that you care, it's a feeling of love that has turned into despair. The void creates a hollowness, an emptiness you hate, making you question your fate. But alas you finally realise, the importance of this void when you can no more criticise. After long nights and countless days, everything settles down when the void inside you is finally embraced. Date:04/08/2021 Contest: The Void Poetry Contest Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker
