Like a Wraith

Folder: 
Completed Poems

I wander the earth like a wraith

Without rhyme or reason to my existence

Feeling a subtle yet eternal pain

Knowing something is missing

Because the void in  my heart is so large

It is impossible to avoid

So I live looking to saturate this dry sense of loss

Hoping to spur a living growth

To fill in this black void

And to bring about a fire inside

That thaws the ice covering my frozen heart

And to bring me back from this eternal death

That I suffer every day

As I wander the earth like a wraith...

What a powerful write. You certainly captured the numbness of life quite well.
