Nothing? Poem by RIC BASTASA

you are everything i have
the sun where every planet in me
revolves
you are every space i have
and i am lost
in your vastness

shine on me
find me
light the darkness that engulfs me
touch me
make me live again

i am nothing without you
you are the sun and i am the emptiness that surrounds
your brightness

fill me
i am this emptiness that completes
the abundance of your heat and light

do not doubt
i am the space that completes you

and this is the irony
the paradox of which without me you are nothing too
