Full
The emptiness that surrounds,
It fills me up
with nothing
where something once was.
What do you do
when you are plunged into darkness?
Watching the last sliver of light
escape beyond our grasp?
The emptiness takes over.
How can I bear it
until the door opens
and the light returns?
I cannot.
I will not!
The waiting... the anticipation
battles with the raging emptiness
It is the emptiness that surrounds,
that fills me up
with nothing
where something once was.
