The Void

When I looked into his eyes

all I could see was black

a void that was empty

and contained nothing but emptiness


he cared for nothing

and nothing cared for him

there was no emotion 

in the cruel eyes that lay before me


he looked at me with his empty eyes

and I glanced at him

he looked empty

but he wasn't the container


he was sucked in by the void

that his eyes mirrored his soul

he had lost everything

and didn't know where to go


he was a lost sheep

that had strayed from his path

and the light that I let into his void

was all that was needed to make his soul shine
