The Emptiness Inside

It’s so strange

The emptiness inside

I feel it-

Right behind my eyes

And around my shoulders

Where my someone

Should hug me

Sometimes

I feel invisible arms

Wrapped around me

But it’s a fleeting sensation

And it leaves the emptiness

There-

Stronger than before

Like looking into the abyss

As the abyss

Looks into me

And takes hold

Pulling me down

Last year

I had

Someone

Who I cared about

But he’s gone

And I miss him

So much

And nobody else is here

In this dark place

Inside of me

Where there should be light

There is only emptiness

Wearing

Gnawing

At my soul

And heart

And mind

I’ve got friends

But no one special

That someone

To care about me

And make me feel safe

Not scared

And alone

Loneliness is a scary thing

Pain

And heartbreak

Seem to fill me

But there’s only

More emptiness

My tears

Would fill an ocean

If I could have

The strength to cry

But I don’t

I’m just a

Scared

Lonely

Little girl

Who just wants someone

To love her back
