“This Emptiness Inside”


 


I feel this huge emptiness


As loneliness burns inside of me


As tears starts to fall like rain


I told myself… that you will be okay!


But I still let the tears fall


To drain myself from emotions deep


This was the middle of the day


Sitting by this “Old Fathers” clock


Looking across the room


Through window


Came sunray warm


A picture of serenity for sure


But deep inside my head


Thoughts deep holding back


What difference does it make?


If no other than me


Can tell this story


Time passing slow… I worry


Then signs of day


Giving place to night


I whisper some love word


Hoping they will reach you


Comfort you wherever you are


And with this emptiness inside


I pull myself back from this dark place


To be with you

This is very sad, Tinka; I wish I could say that I cannot relate to it but it just is not so. I know that of which you write. Thank you for sharing. Love and peace to you. Regis

A truly sad piece, Tinka, but your heart shines through.

Sad write, with a strong message... to admit vunerability and emptiness is a step to being "full" and whole... very strong write and picture

I know to well these feelings but I could never capture them so well as you have in this verse. It is not always what we show on the outside and to the world what we actually feel and keep hidden away from all but the closest people we know. Hugs,
Felix
