There is an emptiness inside, <br />And it’s slowly killing me. <br />A space far too big to hide, <br />And from which I can’t be free. <br /> <br />It feels like something’s missing, <br />Like my life has yet to start. <br />The pain that is flowing, kissing <br />My silent, ice filled heart. <br /> <br />Normal actions never working, <br />Rational thought stripped away. <br />Replaced by the ache always lurking, <br />Throughout all my endless days. <br /> <br />How can I keep from burning, <br />When life’s tearing up my soul? <br />I still have no way of learning, <br />How to make my parts whole. <br /> <br />Someone please stop me from drowning, <br />In an ocean of unshed tears. <br />I need somebody to save me <br />And fight away all my fears. <br /> <br />But I know they don’t exist, <br />I lost all hope long ago. <br />I have no more strength to resist; <br />Feeling empty is all I know.<br /><br />Rachel Beggs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/empty-73/
