there is a place that you go
where no one else can find you
and there it is you meet yourself
even amongst all of the broken fragments
and it will often not be for others
to understand
the necessity of this
to know exactly how
fullness can arise
from emptiness
which is why these things
are so rarely spoken of
so it makes perfect sense
for us to suffer all alone
hearts as heavy as stones
until the time comes for us to
rise again
casting off the dead weight
of broken dreams
we could only find a way to shed
through enduring the hollow depths
of alone
