Escaping The Emptiness (Fading Away) Poem by Leland Pechacek

I float through the shadows of the night,
barely aware of my surroundings.
Lost in thought, I realize that I will never forget her,
even though I wish the memories would fade away.

I now feel that I will eventually find someone new.
I feel as if I can replace the space
that has been occupied by only shadows and darkness,
which is now trying to take control of my life.
I am not sure what I am to do,
but I better figure it out if I ever want to escape
these feelings of emptiness.
