Void

I was just an empty space before,
An empty shell by the sea shore
That is still until you came,
I hope that this isn't wrong.

You filled up spaces I never knew,
You gave me something that was true,
Spaces between my fingers were yours,
Happiness comes, the word assures.

But just like me everything passes,
Hearts fragile, broken like glasses
Warmth became cold, what I always feared,
A you-shaped me in appeared.

Now we're back to being spaces again.
I could feel it every now and then,
My cold hands now belong to my pockets,
Loneliness passes me by like comets.
