emptiness

emptiness is a vacuum of anticipation

a void where dreams come to be shattered

it's a state of mind that's hard to grasp

like trying to catch a ghost with a handful of dust

you can't quite put your finger on it, but you feel it in the pit

of your stomach, where the abyssal void has taken root

so, you try to fill it with something, anything, but it just won't do

you're left with a sense of nothing, and a nagging feeling that

you've been had

but still, you hold on to the hope that someday, somehow, someway

emptiness will be filled

until then, you're stuck in this endless cycle

of nothingness

emptiness is a vacuum of silence
