Emptiness

HomePoetryEmptiness

Getting in my car for a drive
Trying to escape my pain
Memories of him still alive
Driving my emotions insane
Looking in my rear view mirror
Reflecting on our memories
Thoughts are never clearer
Of my potential remedies

This emptiness is consuming
Trying to outrun my mind
The haze of reality’s delusion
Breathing in thoughts unkind
Adrenaline pushing my limits
As remorse and regret set in
Missing life’s precious minutes
Emotions no longer hidden within

Every memory that I celebrate
And every moment we should’ve shared
My anger begins to accelerate
I should have showed him that I cared
Keeping distant, testing time’s fate
Living my life of pretend
Refusing to help bear the weight
By sharing time I should’ve spent

My heavy foot presses the pedal
Driving as fast as I can go
My raging thoughts now unsettled
My mind somewhere I don’t know
Hitting 120 I see a tree ahead
A target I’ve now acquired
As my thoughts attempt to unthread
The outcome my mind already inspired

    1. Your writing here sinks deeper than I even knew possible. I have no worthy words of comfort. Only, hang in there, my friend, if you can. And if writing it out helps, keep them coming! We are here for you. A soulful write all of us can relate to in some way or another.
