The Judgement of the Void

Empty place beside me, (inside me),
At the table, in bed:
A night full of empty words,
Reflecting a heart that knows
The pain of implosion.

We tried to lean toward each other,
Supported by empty air, surprised
When it failed to hold us up.
I wasn't strong enough for you,
I failed you again.

You expect the worst of me:
You find what you seek.
I stand condemned, but I cannot find
The breath to plead.
There's no air left between us.

Pain is a vacuum.
There is nothing left between us:
Know me, know you,
No us.

If only I could have been there.
