Empty spaces, empty places, empty dreams Leave them untouched Do not prop them up with your pillars of False hopes, false fantasies, false fancies Why do you weave stories that don't exist? Why do you imagine feelings that were never there? Why do you think there is a place for you which never was? That oasis is just your mirage - a figment of your loneliness Trying to hold on to something that never was Trying to feel the emotions that you never experienced Trying to look for something that you will never have Why do you think there is an otherwise? Why do you still hope for the next week? Why do you think anything will be different? Mistaken, misunderstood, misjudged Still hoping that the love that you feel will be enough for one more day Still hoping that maybe things will indeed happen your way Still hoping that you are seen to be worthy enough this day Why do you still think you will be accepted like any other? Why do you still hope you stand a chance like another? Why do you still wish you will get more than crumbs and morsels? Empty spaces, empty places, empty dreams Leave them untouched Embrace the emptiness and encompass it in you For this only is yours today and tomorrow Prior Publication: In personal blog https://thewavesofmymindblog.wordpress.com/
