Gather me up

I want to be able to show you the empty places in my soul.

To show you the space

the vastness

the wide expanse

that has been longing for you.

 

And here you are

- and what an excitement to know that

you love my abyss

I was going through a time when I felt incredibly empty and alone, and I wrote this to remind myself that someone loves me and all that I am. That I'm not as bad as I think I am.
