What Will Fill This Empty Space?

 

 

My life feels as blank as this empty page.

It feels like im standing alone on a stage.

I look to the crowd for a familiar face,

All I see is this empty space.

 

As I continue to write the page isnt as dull.

I wonder if it will ever be full.

As I walk down an empty road,

I slip into a lifeless mode.

 

What I want is just behind that glass,

I pray it wont fade into the past.

I wont give up without taking a chance,

Will we ever have a perfect romance?

 

Life will get better, or so I'm told.

I wish I had a hand to hold.

Life is beautiful, or so it seems.

The beauty I see is only in my dreams.

I like the rhyme and flow of this poem and I can really relate to it. Sometimes that glass is pretty thick cause I am still looking through it. lol

Since I have been away for months, I can only hope you have found a hand to hold at least for now.

... this is beautifully written and i so get this ... :) ... i had to wait a long time before it happened ... (and of course i lost what i had and have to move heaven and earth to even make an attempt to get it back but this is not about that) ... and i had to be many things ... and all of those things were essentially about being me ... when it happened ... i "felt" i was at my best ... and i felt i was "exuding" it too ... yet i was conscious of the "empty space" ... it used to bite me and sting me ... so when it got filled ... it was insanely blissful ... so i'd say this poem has captured with splendour the empty space ... and if you're conscious of it ... and anyone who reads this poem is at the same stage ... then they can know and you can know that there is only magic up ahead in the distance ... :) ... 100/100 ... for your endearing earnestness ... :) ...

The rhythm is so simple, yet it suits the poem. Although poem does not have a simple meaning, that is why it is so powerful .Feelings of emptiness and loneliness are just a phase although they may seem like forever those moments to do pass. However you seem to question all the thoughts that people have when they feel this way. Where is that hand to hold? That familiar face? The perfect romance? I like that you did this, it makes is easy for a wide variety of people to connect to this poem. Great job!

Sometime we can feel alone. It is only time to re-organize our life and time. In time with luck and time we re-birth hope. Sadness should make us wiser. We will walk into love with open eyes and more careful. A very good poem. I could feel the disappointment and sadness.
