Hush

Torn deep within, a hole, a void,
It spreads and festers, destroyed,
What used to be can no longer remain,
When all is lost, nothing can be the same,
Empty, yet heavy, nothing, yet everything,
It’s presence always tugging at a string,
Seeking to fill the empty, satiate,
In the end, life will always decimate,
What could have been filled, gaping,
Void that was forgotten, reshaping,
Feel it’s weight begin to crush,
Soon the pain will fade with a silent hush.
