There is a space by my side.
Do you see it?
Once it laughed,
when all was right.

But with the changing tide
I was gone and it left:
life swept aside.

A rip where once was
full,  now all is null.

But now I find it's lack
a fine companion.
I laugh and the silence
eats it
I speak and the words
fall flat
I cry and the lonlieness
engulfs.

There is a space by my side.
Do you see it?
Do you see it?
Do you see me?


The silence is all the response I need.
