#32 Emptiness Is as Emptiness Does

Emptiness is as emptiness does
that’s how you showed me
that somehow, in someway
in some instance,
someone emptied you of love.
Maybe
it was done
by using steady
perpetual care
that diminished your resolve
then abruptly ripped it away
like bolts of lightning
breaking holes
throughout the air
stealing the thunder of your
expectations
till it was confirmed
that there was nothing left
but your
silence…
going the distance
and setting fire
to your dwindling hopes
fanning the smoky flames
higher to ensure it engulfed
all of its remnants,
but;
I could be wrong…
You could just be
the grown version of
a trapped child
that never knew
what freedom meant
inside your home
or within the mind
of innocent
imaginative contentment
A child;
who got used to being
rejected so many times
at the mercy of
some weak person’s
shallow thrills
that rejection is
the only gift descriptive
of the type of love you
know how to sufficiently give…
Contorted but true
to your heart’s twisted rules
that teetered near revealing emotions
and losing control
of the fragility
that lies stuck at the base
of what really is your
debilitated version of truth;
that confuses lust with trust
and grief with joy
struggling to understand
the consequences
between each spectrum
secretly hoping
to find someone,
anyone
to give you simple kind care
and loving attention,
unlike the kind you seem
to incessantly seek
as justification from others
that you are worth the time
and the devotion.
I could be wrong…
But this is what you felt like
many times to me,
like someone who would desperately
settle for even a glimpse
of genuinity,
in between the pieces of your
mournful rage
that overturns furniture
and tears reminders
out of picture frames
and leaves her colourful petals
flaking,
oxidizing gently
under internal loneliness
and unrequited self-love…
I could be wrong,
but I perceive you know that I’m not,
because emptiness is as emptiness does.
