Empty Spaces

Empty spaces

I have always hated them

their feel of nothingness

their uncomfortable grip of lonely

their empty touch that chills the spine

 

Empty

Like a blank page

With nothing to tell

All nothingness

Void of thought or emotion

 

Lifeless

Silent like the grave

Ever demanding to be noticed

An abyss that’s always taking and never giving back

 

I hate empty spaces

Especially those in the heart
