The shadow

Divorce creates an emptiness... A void

There was someone there

Then there is not. 

Trying to find someone to fill the void. Who will fit? 

I try one or the other. 

No. 

No.

Try to ignore it. 

Try to pretty it up with things, friends.

Doesn't change it. 

Still an empty place. 

Like a shadow. 

Following me around. 

Never letting me forget. 

Alone. 

Empty.
