Empty Spaces

I stare at you from the inside out
Deep in your eyes
I see empty spaces
Selfish longing
Cold intentions
Reality is cruel for those who believe in it
It could have been so sweet
But too much sugar rots the soul
Revealed is the true image of self
Skin deep, shallow and meaningless
We continue on, hand in hand
Staring into your eyes
There are empty spaces
Longing for what can not be given
It stands between us
Frozen, cold, lifeless
Revival is conditional
Beating hearts in hand
Through empty spaces
We smile
Ignore the gap between
Seeking comfort
Removed
Alone as we lay together
No shoulder to lean on, cry with
Only our empty spaces to give us solace
