The Void
From my seat by the swings, I watch them play
With wild abandon, running, chasing, catching.
I watch them fall to the ground, laughing,
Happy, carefree, joyful.
I am not one of them anymore.
I just sit, and watch, and reflect on what was,
And will never be again, no matter how much I wish otherwise.
Their youthful exuberance is no longer mine.
I am empty.
