zenn bites...

ever felt so empty inside that nothing can fill you up?

no amount of work satisfaction,
no number of material goods,
no matter how much you're thankful for what you've got.

there's always this something missing.
and that something chooses not to come back.

an acute loneliness,
a void filled with longing and memories,
a place where tears and aches reside.

where forgetting is impossible,
and the one you most need to understand, don't.

where questions go unanswered,
and words can't soothe.

where the air freezes over,
and you are naked, vulnerable.

where being open and sharing feelings,
bring silence.

stuck in a cage,
with an unyielding gaoler outside,
and lost keys of hope.
