Hollowness

Hollowness is just your absence
of you not being here with me
now in this instance, this place
where I seek to find you in
in these unknown streets
and doors and windows
which do not bear any name
neither do the houses say
where you lived once or
where you will come to live
yet I wander in here, seeking

I wander as a lost soul
who has not known this place
not seen these streets, these
corners of the town you live
only to try and find you
and humming songs with
each of my own lost steps
just like it has been for years
only to seek  you, find you
and embrace you again
in my arms, with my heart

Embrace you in those arms
which have now forgetten
your being, your feeling in them
with my heart, that just beats
without recognizing your
once musical rhythms in it
I want to hold you in arms
again, never to let you go
fill the hollowness in me
and fill the hollowness in you
in our souls that have lived
torn, so far apart, in hollowness
without each other, without love.
