the void

Empty spaces, hollowed out A void within, without a doubt A feeling that can't be defined A sense of loss, a heart left behind The silence screams, the darkness falls A loneliness that enthralls The emptiness echoes, a haunting sound A reminder of what's been lost, what's been found In the stillness, I search for peace A calm within, a world to cease From the turmoil, the noise, the pain But emptiness remains, a constant refrain Yet, in this void, I find a space A chance to breathe, to find my place To confront the emptiness, to face The depths of my soul, the emptiness I've made Perhaps in emptiness, I'll find a way To rediscover, to start anew each day To fill the void, to heal the pain And find a sense of purpose, a love that remains.
