Emptiness
written by: Orlando Blake
She left
She was steaming
To escape from
The reality.
***
She was tired
Burdening
Her shoulders,
Multitasking without
A time to heave.
She was lost
Not a word said
To know her thoughts,
None to ask her
The forgotten smile.
She was uncared
None cared
Of her existence,
She was existing
Only for others.
Living in silence
Emptiness thawed her,
None to hear her
She left in silence.
