Emptiness
By Wendi
There's an emptiness that lingers
Long after the emotional release,
When you've spoken all you need to say
And only long for peace.
There's a prostitute ambition
Buried deep within these walls,
From where you're reaching out to cry,
But no one hears your call.
Seeking just someone to love you,
You've given everything away
For just a temporary shelter from the lasting
Terrors that you face.
There's a certain, quiet solace
In the edges of a blade:
A soft, forbidden comfort
That society forbade.
There's a loneliness that follows
Long after you've opened up your soul,
When all the world has seen your scars
And you've lost your self-control.
You remember when your deepest wishes
Were cast away into the sky.
But now you gaze into those wishing-stars
And will yourself to die.
There's a silence now that lingers,
That stemmed from screaming deep inside,
When you shared your heart with everyone,
But you somehow were denied.
Thus you've decided to be silent,
But that silence may be your demise:
Your heart will never rest, but wander
Till it can go no further
And it fades away and dies.

When I think of those scars,
Covering your arms,
I cant move,
I cant breathe,
Nothing can I solve,
I can only think of those scars,
And how they came to be,
I think of you and I think of me,
I see you drowning and I gulp,
You're asking, pleading, needing help.
I see me reaching for you, grabbing your hand,
As I grab your hand, as I squeeze tight,
As I start to pull you to land,
I lose my grip and I fall in,
Now we're both drownin',
I just made it worse....
...now I'm dying, struggling for air,
Its hard to care, its hard to bear,
But I'm afriad for me, afraid for you,
We struggle to help each other out,
We try to get air, we try to yell for help,
As the water pours in our heart,
As we continue to sink,
We see nothing but darkness,
Dark, cold, suffocating ...
Then suddenly, I see a Light growing bright,
I grab your hand and point to the Light.
Is it something to save us? Will we be alright?
Slowly I see that its God's hand reaching down to ours
You see what it is, as you look at it too,
We dont know what to do,
Should we take hold of His hand and be saved?
Or will we ignore it and sink to our graves?
I cant breathe, you cant see,
We have to do something quickly,
I feel my body grow limp as I continue to squeeze your hand,
You are numb, you're starting to lose it all as we sink further down
again,
What do we do? God's hand is still there,
We have to do something before it's gone and it tears.
