I wrote this poem as I was reflecting on what I've been going through in the last couple of months.


The Void

Tapping of raindrops
Wake me from sleep
An yearning develops
In darkness so deep.

I prayed for solitude
And now I’m alone
Accepting in silence
A shadow’s throne.

Nothing’s before me
Like the void beneath
In this stillness
I forget to breathe.

This heart’s for the taking
Yet no one’s arrived
No senseless love making
For lovers contrived.

I drown in the poison
Your love seems to breed
Words have been spoken
Where there was no need.

This broken heart’s in recess
Now only numbness I feel
I try to glue back the pieces
That your love can’t fulfill. ©
