In the twilight hours.

Written in response to #WOTD, 6/12/19

---

In the twilight hours I wake from fitful sleep
to an emptiness that never leaves me.

It pervades my waking hours
and saps my strength from me
like candy from a little child
leaving me bereft
wanting
hoping for something more than this

So I prey and I hope
for anything
something
but all I ever find is the emptiness
the nothingness that fills my soul

and I cry.
