Help me to understand this madness
Doubtless there is purpose to the emptiness
Unless I’m doing it wrong
On the day I chose to walk this road
Boldness and beauty assaulted me
Elevated beyond the realms of reason
Can one really silence this sound of emptiness
Quite literally tearing me apart
Until it’s weight pushes me to sleep’s edge
Even then your embrace stirs me
Taunting me to love you more
Let me hold you close again
Even hear your voice once more
Never leave me to face this painful silence
And perhaps sanity will survive
