Can You Fill the Void?


Can you fill the void?

Make me care again-

It's been far too long.

Can you fill the void?

Don't ask me how I've been...

Every word will be a lie.

Because I'm not okay,

Though I say that I am.

I'm empty inside;

It barely helps to pray.

There's a hole in my heart.

I can feel it and it aches.

I can't seem to fix it

And I'm not sure where to start.

Can you fill the void?

Fill me with peace, love, compassion.

I know, I know it's not rational.

But can you fill the void?
