the void (poem)

the void

Sometimes I feel all alone
Going on on my own
Feeling empty and shallow
Nothing, all hollow

I sit in my darkness
awaiting a goddess
waiting for nothing
for silence to fall

Embracing the shadows
grazing on meadows
in my deepest soul

Feeding on nothing
but feeling it burn
Longing for something
For something to yearn

Feeling quite lonely
but only quite
for there is only
One feeling light

He is inside me
He is me
But to see him
is often hard

Thanks a lot, Sherry!
I'm still not quite sure as to why these words came in English (and I hope it's not too much gibberish wink).
Still it feels very good to have written them...

...isn't the variety and the contrast of feelings that make life so marvellous?
