SUNSHINE AURA – poetry. short stories. community.

Sometimes the chamber where my heart lies

Is empty

A feeling of hollowness

An ache

That causes me to arch my back

Then contract inward on myself

Tuck into a little ball

Alone in my bed

And wonder

Will it ever happen to me?

Will I ever feel the love I long to feel?

Maybe I should just give up

Blow out the candle

Snuff out the flame

And yet

Even when I feel this empty

I still see a small ember

Not enough to start a fire quite yet

But enough to give me hope.
