Reaching out yet again to the void

pouring my heart out to nothing and no one

I keep trying to share my world

but no one ever sticks around

long enough to join me

At best they drift in and out

at worst they run once I’ve shown too much

but no one ever stays for long

That hole that stands beside me

is all I have to rely on

Its place is never filled for long

no matter how I try

There’s only ever one set of footsteps

left in the shifting sands of time

that I find myself drifting through

I’m still not sure if I’m too much

or just not enough

but either way I’m not the right amount

for anyone else to handle

So I struggle to share

with nothing and no one

and a lack of anything to show

for all the effort given

for those unworthy of the time

and energy I spared

or else they’d still be here

to see and hear what I try to show

Again the audience is empty

playing to a crowded room

of silence and space
