Empty
I've been busy,
Pouring myself
Into cups of words,
Hidden identities
On social media,
Where no one knows,
Who I am or what I look like.
Tumblers of songs,
Carved out of forgotten
Days and eyes where I once drowned.
Bright screens of laptops,
Vast vessels of a tale untold,
To be bound into a book,
For thirsty souls like me,
Who should never feel alone.
I have emptied myself
Of your dreams, your fears.
Once, I always knew
What you were thinking,
But now I don't find you near.
I have poured myself into you,
Till there was nothing left of me.
I drank from your silences,
Till I was filled to be free.
I chatted with a stranger today,
Telling him if my life was a movie,
It would always have a background score.
I didn't tell anyone about you,
The one who stole my words away.
Besides, I don't think they should know.
I have poured myself,
Into years of wanting you.
If I have no words left anymore,
For you or the parched world,
Would you still find me beautiful?
