I filled up a place in my heart.
The big old emptiness that had formerly resided there
wasn’t gone,
but there was something else there,
so I could ignore it
while that something else lasted.
Then,
when that something else left,
it was back to the big old emptiness.
But not just like before.
This time it was a-whole-lot worse,
because I now knew
what it was like
to live without it.
