In A Moment Listen Poem by Kelvin TakyiBobi

A space, a hole, hollow, there
In the middle of my being is still there.
When body is increasing in size, heart
Is growing by depth, from simple to complex.

Right palm umbrelling the eyes, I watch search.
I see no one, no one is there for me.
My heart sinks as I say this, no one is there.
I am surrounded by love but I still lonely.

My inside is thirsty, but never throats water.
My inside is hungry, but never tongues food.
I have no one to share such suffering
Only through this poem.

A space, a hole, hollow, there
In the middle of my being is still there.
I have no one to fill, and I lay on bed,
Looking at the ceiling with less meaning.
My eyes are wet with tears but they won't rain.

Thank you.
