Emptiness.

This didn't feel right.

Not that it felt wrong.

It didn't feel anything.

She was being pulled in two directions

She felt she needed to stay

But knew she needed to go

She felt the longing of those she was leaving

She felt the chill of the air around them

She felt the darkness she was leaving behind

She felt her lover, the sadness and longing.

She felt his best friend, his empathy and strength.

She felt her boss, her courage and bravery.

She felt the old man, his rage and determination.

She felt that they'd all be okay, in the end

They'd come back to themselves in time.

She felt her partner, and knew it was wrong

She felt nothing.

No sadness or longing.

No empathy or strength.

No courage or bravery.

No rage or determination.

She felt for him and felt nothing.

Emptiness.

She felt she should go back, but knew she couldn't.
