This emptiness is strangely heavy,
Emptiness that burns inside out, Emptiness that echoes **** loud,
The vibrancy of which makes you frown,
Which, like a hole, pulls you down,
Emptiness which craves love, peace, paramount.

-lahar

Vacuum inside me so deep,
Makes me recollect and weep.
Emptiness screams out loud,
Yes, right now I'm in a self doubt!
Captivating world around I see.
Still, a piece is lost in me.
Hit by Wave of mixed emotions.
Everybody long for a proper position.
The void confines all over,
Apparently, Smile is the best cover!

How long will you stay uninterested?
In this relationship like me, even you have invested.

My idea of intimacy is based on my lifelong emptiness.
Have you too felt the pangs of loneliness?

How long have I been lonely in this world?
Well, essentially since my lonely & difficult childhood.

And now you might ask me another counter question.
If I had my parents along, why this notion?

Now, tell me, is having parents is sufficient?
Surely, we need siblings, friends, and a joint family.

Grandparents help you endure the pangs of loneliness.
Dear, have you ever been directionless?

How can you judge me based on your experiences?
Come to my world, take your time to assess.
