An absence <br />a vacancy; <br />an empty hole <br />where nothing <br />fills <br />what nothing <br />ever can. <br /> <br />What could have been <br />lies unfulfilled, <br />unlearned, <br />unknown. <br /> <br />What is, <br />is left to struggle, <br />unaware in its <br />diminished capacity <br />that it barely survives; <br />as the world that <br />should never have been, <br />creates a half-life.<br /><br />Carolyn Brunelle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vacancy-5/
