Empty Space

Not really sure what this is but anyway...

I long for someone
So I imagined you
You, who listens to me
You, who doesn't always agree with me, but accepts me.
Please, carry on this way

Sometimes I get scared
Sometimes I cry
You tell me it's ok
You tell me empty space is here
Please, be solid

It is impossible,
Never seen light,
Left to learn,
Never to speak
Please, what do I have?

You never speak back
Even if you did I would barely understand you.
I have never learnt a language
You listen to my thoughts
Please, have mercy, empty space.

You are the only thing I have
Although I know every indent in the wall by heart
I have never heard another creature
Is it just me in this place?
Please, I cannot be the only one

Though surely I would know.
I never thirst
Never grow hungry
But I have an empty heart
That has only ever been filled by
Empty, empty space.

You are not alone. I liked this piece. It is vulnerable and mournful and expresses a sentiment felt by many. Most people want to be seen by someone else. To be given validation of their existence and to have someone to soften the blows. But sometimes empty space is indeed the best and only lover. Well done!
