The Emptiness

Daily writing prompt
Who are your favorite people to be around?

There is an emptiness that only when experienced can be understood. That emptiness is hollow, dark and lonely. When things seem to be going in a direction that looks good, the bottom falls out of the world you knew. Then what do you do? What do you think? What do you feel?What do you hope for? It’s all in the wind with directions unknown.

The emptiness draws closer and you hope it takes you, but no such wish could ever take place. I sit in the shadows and call out the name. The name of my best friend which of course does no good. I hope and I pray this emptiness will take me for how do you live when your half is no more.

All the questions remain unanswered and I scream for relief but relief isn’t near and I must continue on. As much as I hope to wake from this dream, the darkness gets darker and the emptiness persists. Tell me how to go on through the pain inside when only a half is left to survive.

The answers go unanswered as I continue to beg, to beg for just one more touch from my other half. Well, it’s over and gone in a blink of an eye and here I remain empty and lost. If anyone has the answers to my heartbreak inside please share with me how to continue on.
