Emptiness

Eyes are glazed and look at nothing He is so aware of the sighing breathing The rising lump in the chest chokes everything The pain and void have him writhing His emotions lie, dead and buried His poker face belies all worries He wants to yell and scream But is scared the tears would then follow in a stream He looks around for solace But has lost faith in the the human race Is scared to lose his face Feels, tears would be the easy escape As the tears well up in the eyes A film about to spill and trickle, so he tries Stays firm, .the film dries He smiles as the inside cries He broods over his weakness His need for someone, a sickness? Was he ailing from loneliness? Just yesterday, he was perfect A symbol of completeness! He was flush with emotional fullness Then, He pored within and found the perfect ally- a soothing emptiness!
