Yearning

I want to feel your soul inside me.
It can be real, with the whole world behind me.

Is there anybody out there?
Can you read me, loud and clear?

I feel all that remains.
I feel all that contains

Is nothing at all.

I want to feel your fire ignite me.
“It can be real,” said the darkness, “delight me.”

Is there anybody out there?
Can you read me, loud and clear?

I feel all that remains.
I feel all that contains

Is nothing at all.

I’ve got a feeling there’s nothing out there.
