These empty thoughts fill you like they would fill an empty
Glass;
Vase;
Tub.
Fill you up completely to the top before consuming you wholly.
You hear their arguments,
they slice you in half.
To see the two people you love clash
In their words
ways
And actions,
empties you out completely until the last drop.
E m p t i n e s s
Your only friend, only acquaintance.
Because it stamped its sign right over your beating heart
just like a letter,
ready to be dispatched.
Your body wanders,
while your heart
Mind
And soul stays put.
Their harsh words although aimed at each other
lash out and slash the very veins of your core.
But you must stay put
Helpless
As you hear him hurt her with
sharp
sharp
sharp
words.
But you will stay quiet because you can't physically speak out
and protect her from the anger and the rage
coming in the form of words
aiming at her heart.
Instead your only hope remains in God,
He sees and hears everything.
He is your savior and you hope that
He will help you slip through this situation and get you through many more.
You hope with all your being that He fills the gaps
Between your heart
Inside the crevices between your bones
Around your soul
And one day maybe,
You will be filled to the brink
And the e m p t i n e s s remains in you no more.
