Fruitlessly Fill

from the moment we first met you began carving out a space in my heart and in my head

and it's so blatantly obvious to everyone in the room, and out of the room that glaring emptiness

that I never once attempted to fruitlessly fill, knowing YOU were the only one who could speak my language, who knew me

maybe you tried yourself, well you failed and came crawling back to say

how hard you tried and epicly you had failed 

that scarred and tender place

it never decreased in size

while something ethereal about it took over me as it amplified
