The Space In Between

You know the times, when you wake up in the morning and stare blankly into the ceiling, and wonder, "What should I do today?" That's basically my life. Real fun. Life's like a neverending cycle of contradictions. Waiting in earnest for exams to be over, only to dread the boredom of having nothing to do in the holidays. Perhaps its just me, but I bet i'm not the only one. I have to admit that there are things to do, people to meet, games to play, movies to watch, books to read. But always, something missing. Even in the company of friends, the lingering feeling is always there, like a phantom stalking me, ready to pounce at me the moment the fun and laughter stops. That's the emptiness I feel, which seems to paint my surroundings grey and dull, bleak and inanimate. Emptiness, the place in between, a place where no one else can enter, that time just seems to stand still......

- The End - by Emptiness

Is it too much to ask for one,
Devotion and love – its not that hard.
But just as sudden as it all begun,
I watched her stray – it tears my heart.

To find myself so useless and weak;
I tried my best – just not enough.
To shield my ears from their passionate shrieks,
And lie to myself – but who can I bluff?

To grant her grace and forgive her sin,
I wear a smile – but bleed inside.
How much more lies can I really spin,
Before I decide – “All that I can, I’ve tried”
