Trying To Fill Empty Spaces
Negative Space Poem
a gasping
sigh
fear holds on tight
refusing to let go
a change
the blame
dark claims the night
numbing from head to toe
a hollow breath
as fog set in
heavy, consuming light
a weight no one can know
frozen
and stuck
and half alive
time insisting that i go {on}
that empty space
life can't erase
nothing in black and white
nothing left to show
to start again
i play pretend
the world changing overnight
with no one here to hold
time to move on
party of one
in human natures plight
all together alone
In this never ending feeling of absence
