Emptiness

So much

I feel so pale and lifeless.
My Emptiness draws on me.
I can't breathe.
It won't leave me alone.
I feel so black and hopeless.
My Emptiness just follows me.
It comes in.
And strings me along.
Do you know why hatred is murder?
Do you know why darkness ain't friendly?
Have you heard of nightmares and terrors?
Does that mean you know how to stop it?

I'm always dark and hollow.
The emptiness inside of me.
Keeps me safe inside my mind.
Youve never seen this side of me.
The emptiness all over me...
In the end won't leave me alone.
Do you know why fury is dangerous?
Do you know why anger is fearless?
Have you ever heard of rejection?
Does that mean I know where it's going?

It's always there to light the way.
The emptiness in front of me.
Makes me scared inside my mind.
Sounds of bliss deceives me.
The emptiness surrounding me.
Gets upset and gives me away.
Have you ever heard of denial?
Have you heard of thoughts of crazy?
Do you know how to kill all the voices?
Does that mean that I have to do it?

It's always there to speak for me.
The emptiness stands behind me.
Hurting me behind my back.
"Be still. Be silent"
The emptiness cries out to me.
Makes you think I'm not like that.
Can you hear all the forgotten anger?
Can you see all the distorted faces?
Can feel all the cuts and the bruises?
Do you think you know how to do it?

I feel so bland and careless.
The emptiness crawls under me.
Leading me to my demise.
I feel so fake and tainted.
The emptiness flies into me.
Eating me in front of you all.
Can you take all the ups and the downs there?
Can you bring back the feelings of courtship?
Have you seen all the broken companions?
Will that mean you won't have to do it?

I have no doubt your voice will be heard. Your words have a demanding presence that grips the reader right to the end. I do hope this is mostly the muse at work and not a way of life. It’s been a while since a verse moved me like this one has. Well done.

You are most welcomed. I’m delighted I could do that, but your gift needs to be shared.
