Chance

come closer and I'll tell you a story
one of emptiness filled with the void
greedy essence that sucks from the soul
taking its toll
 
my loneliness seeks
regrettable need
it is ever present
the desires of the moment
and that's all we get
 
moments to shine
don't miss yours
they come in waiting rooms
and inbetween  
in the quiet hours
 
coming humbly and plainly
with no notice
they come and present your chance
to make a connection
to make a few
 
to escape the emptiness
to touch a soul
