These things I am
I am the midnight sky, always vast and black .
Or hurtful words once spoken, to late too take back.
I’m that hollow feeling, that makes you toss and turn .
I’m the pain behind your eyes, your stomach when it burns.
I am hopelessness, in the deepest shades of grey .
Or the tears that streak your cheeks, when love has gone away.
I’m the fear you feel, when your somewhere all alone .
I’m the emptiness, that fills every broken home.
I am in the eyes of many, and there I will remain .
I am sadness, I am heartache, I am sorrow and pain.
