The Vacant White

Beyond closed doors with you on the other side
My helpless eyes look beyond the mute, wooden divide;
Beyond the horizon, across the blue,
Amongst a world unknown, I seek you;
In the bluish realms, perhaps on top of the clouds,
Amidst the flying songbirds, amidst the coloured shrouds;
In the deeps of the earth, within the very core,
I searched and sought you, to help ease my sore.

Yet! O yet! You remained in obscurity,
You dodged my eyes and hid from my thoughts.
I was unable to breathe but you showed me no pity.

I begged and pleaded for you to come back to me,
I shed another tear into a dark infinity.
Still you heard me not, and as the days waned,
My vacuous life in those untouched pages remained.
