The Void

I crave. They can sense it.
This need
Almost feels like greed.
It’s raw, human and rough.
Nothing will ever be enough.
So intense it sometimes slips through,
Making my cold mask fall,
Leaving me bare for them to see all
The void, the darkness.
Unrelentless


For a moment, they can even hear
A voice whispering « come closer, come near ».
Mysterious, absolutely
And lethal, it might be.
It absolutely can be
A true black hole.
I might absorb them completely,
If I don’t tame this energy,
If I don’t get it under control.


For it is not my wish to destroy.
There’s nothing evil in my soul.
Just a desperate need
For this void to be filled
With beauty, with wonder, with joy.
Everything that’s been denied to me
Years after years.


Now, it wants it all; it wants everything.
You feeling scared is true understanding
Of this untamable greedy force
That can absorb you without remorse.
