Empty – adj, verb, noun

the emptiness
(I am an empty vessel)
is acute first thing in the morning
when all I wanted was for it
(the cavern of my heart)
to be filled by dreams in the night
(snapshots of what your love might feel like)
but my mind only knows
(harsh words and lies)
and can’t begin to conceive
(trust, respect, devotion)
and fear I am best left to
become a husk
