Empty

Tired in my mind

With all the living caught up in dark alleyways

Never knowing how to catch glimpse of Sun

Falling for the light and warmth others promise

Emptied out

By both the anticipations and the doubt

And now your anger

At my lack of trust

Burns a hole inside of me

How could I allow it to go this far

If you say your No is a No

Why won’t you listen to

Or respect mine?

And why am I staying around

To argue

No one is free in this hallway

Of disappointment and projection

And there is no protection in defence

It just digs me a deeper and deeper hole

And I cannot bear to live any more

With the empty
