Emptiness

Something is missing from me, something I can’t explain.

All I known is I don’t feel the same, there is something missing from me.

As I go about my day I feel incomplete.

I know there is something I need but what it is eludes me.

I walk the halls and feel like a soulless being.

I see demons everywhere and their begging me to join them.

They say I am like them but I find this not true at all.

Then they tell me to look down and I’ll see what they mean.

I look down of course to prove them wrong and to my horror there is a hole in my chest that wasn’t there before.

I look up and beg someone to help me and though I cry and scream no one can hear me.

The demons laugh and say they have been waiting for me.

They say they need me to serve them, work for them, and take care of them.

I refuse to my fullest intent but I find myself being pulled towards them.

And then a blinding light is shining in my eye and as I cover it to see what is beyond something starts to take life and begins to beat.

I see him there walking down the hall laughing and talking with no worries at all.

And then I notice that the demons have gone with the realization that I’m not empty at all.

I look down at my chest and see my chest is whole and well and when I feel it I hear a beat that begins to tell me what I have been missing all along.

And now I know that there is something to live and die for that I have been missing all along.

It was my heart you see that filled the emptiness that I had all along.
