Day 3 Prompt- Empty, Except For...

I'm so empty, so empty, so empty, so empty

Void, vide, blank, black

Never moving forwards, always back

Absence of color, absence of light

Endless restless night,

Except for you, shining so bright,

Dyeing my skies, piercing them with stars

From afar

Painting my mind like palomino with your perfect palette

How do you do it?

Filling my cells with your stinging love

Singing dove

Stuffing me up, shooting me up, then sucking me dry

Making me cry, wiping my tears, so many gush

Until my eyes are in drought, face flushed, flesh blushed

But there's still a gleam

And you know it's because of you, too

So empty that you're all I dream...

You yourself are one

So don't wake me, don't break me, but take me

Away

Won't you do that for me?

'Cuz you know, I'm so very

Empty...
