It comes to me nearly every day
A feeling so intense
Yet emptiness governs its existence
Its nothingness gives it substance

The empty set you are
Which once was
Defines my existence now
While my being is completely empty

You are the reason
I want to cover my body in tattoos
Discover the world
Have children

To relive ((recount)) you with my children
To show you the world you never saw
To become a creative mecca
Where I am the reason

My existence matters to others
Finally I give myself reason
To live onward and upward
Instead of downward and inward.
