I see you

I see the darkness

Eating away

Consuming the

Soul

Grace of heart

Smile

You once had in abundance

I see you

I taste the void

Its crumbs

Sharp on my tongue

Tearing my throat

The shredding silence

The ravaging hollow

I see you

I see the spark

I see the smile

Slight and forced

But as real

As the hint of

Something

Something filling the void

Fighting the demons

Mending the wounds

I see you

I see hope

Even when you, or someone you know or love, is feeling at the lowest ebb, look deep and you'll see the flicker of something more. Something hopeful. For every night, there's a day.
