Husk

There comes a time

When you’re filled to the brim

So much so

That emptiness fills you up

Heart heavy, breath labored

Drowned lungs and a still tongue

Wide empty eyes, Frozen tears

Quiet songs resonating through your being

Long days and even longer nights

Cold stings when the dark strikes

But when warmth stays out of reach

Ways to cope yourself you’ll teach

Closed eyes and loud thoughts

Is when your fear gallivants and haunts

And when in time I become a husk

In my dreams I’ll find my fill
