I know the void
More closely than sin
We walk hand in hand
Through the thick and the thin
It’s pull so deep rooted
Since pre-natal start
Bonded in soul
Entwined with my heart
Uncommon to most
It may seem taboo
How it comforts me so
A reliable “me, and you”
Never leaving my side
Nor pushing me through
The void holds me steady
Loving me true
With welcoming arms
Gripped tight round my bones
Protecting my softness
From thrown sticks and stones
My void and me
Best friends til the end
Stiches the holes
Alone I can’t mend
