That Deep Longing
No matter how fast paced
My life may be
It still seems
I’m only partly living
There’s a part of me
That’s empty
A void that feels
Like a long wait
A deep longing for something
That means happiness to me
It’s become an obsession
This idea of not knowing
Of not understanding
What this emptiness is inside me
Little by little
This void is gnawing at me
Spreading a shadow
Of emptiness and sadness
Like a mountain that calls to me
A rainy day that never ends
A cloudy sky that never clears
Like silent tears that never dry
