Empty – July 14, 2023

To be tethered to someone

You know loves you

And realize

Nobody

Can ever match the intensity left behind

By what you’ve lived

The sense of all by yourself

Lingers

Your appetite raging

For a connection that alludes you at every turn

You spend days

Sitting alone

Listening to life around you

And you’re living

Somewhere outside the surface

Not quite reachable

Even to those that love you

A constant tapping

The ringing in your ears

The silence that is no longer silent

Pulls you in

And reassures, of it’s ease

Little does anyone know…what anyone else

Is feeling
