The Echo Returns Naught - Mar 16

Shouting across the void, I’ve begged for you;
I’ve heard my straining voice fall lost to the
Abyss between us two; Ignoring my plea,
The echo returned not, no answer due. 

Peering into the gulf—oh! what a view—
Reflection there was none, no none to see;
Heeding thus firstly your true nihility, 
The echo unreturning, I turned from you. 

The echo returns not and neither I.
Forging my faith on solid ground, on earth,
I abandon your illusory hope— 
And doing so I leave a dry well dry.
Away with all your falsly minted mirth,
With the true love of my life I elope.
