...Intensity of the Empty

By SolApathy

Buried in belief
I look to the solace of an overturned leaf
Hoping to find a sign
Escape these lonely confines
A life without love
I find no relief in the stars above
I wander the shores reveling in the ocean’s intensity
My persistence at critical density
In the silence of my soul
You’ll hear the cracks as my will unfolds
My belief betrayed
In my loneliness I decay
Into the depths as my vase is shattered
My hope forever…Scattered

    Rebs nailed it (like she doooo) ... This is a killer write like always... I know I poke at you about your endings but the ellipsis was totally ok point for this and the flow of it. "My persistence at critical density" - I paused on this line and continued to return to it... A levy nearly broken... And you're sorta both the levy and the force... I hope that makes sense. I love it.
