Image for the poem the emptiness

the emptiness

the emptiness is like a rainstorm  
it violently pours down
soaking my clothes  
chilling me to the bone
 
the emptiness is like a dark night
desolate streets
with one lamp post flicking  
illuminating vacant pavement  
 
the emptiness is like a cage  
trapping me in my own torment
i stick my arm through the bars  
clawing for freedom
 
the emptiness is like nothing
it’s the absence  
it’s the unnatural loneliness  
it’s the null thudding
 
it’s the quiver in my voice  
it’s the voidness behind my eyes
it’s painted behind my smile
it’s the truth in all the lies
