Emptiness...
There could be fog Or maybe just a mist And inexplicably I'll fade to white Vanish,and be gone
Or it could be night And I'll be darkly dressed, Evading easy definition And as your eye's distracted By a fallin leaf I'll merge with restless shadows And be gone
Then you will discover What emptiness is
A space so hollow Even its own walls are swallowed up
A quality of missing So intense A lack, a lack
Each hour more bottomless than the last Until your heart cries out, A howl of forfeiture
But it will be nothing Ashen silence where i used to sing And deafness
The howl must strike the right resonant frequency A wail that echoes all to the ends of time To fill the gaping void in whole, looping waavelengths From the well of your soul, such loneliness To make Siberian wolves hang heads for shame In their convivial packs
Then, only then Might you detect my footprints, indistinct Marking the morning dew fall
Perhaps glimpse a puff of breath in the cold, dawn air
You must utter A howl so desolate, it
Jerks you from your sleep To find me warm beside you on your pillow
And you will know how Close you were to the brink Of the abyss
And know what missing is And hold me. /your love is like a shadow
