EMPTY

 

The empty ache of loneliness

A hollow emptiness

A desperate want

For their caress

To fill the void

Left by invisibility

Butterflies flutter

When you meet their gaze

Knees weaken, just for a second

As they brush past

Then light-headedness

When you smell their scent

Then later

In the quiet of the night

The empty void of want

Loins aching for them

Then hollow emptiness

The constant companion

The loneliness

Of unrequited love
