I'm terrified
that I will get where
I'm going,
and I will still feel empty.
I fear that nothing will quell
my emptiness,
and that this void is eternal.

~William C. Hannan

And I promise
to help you deal with
that void however I can,
even if it's just to stand with you
beside it,
and yell into the darkness.

~Jessica Katoff
