Emptiness Poetry Novels & Stories

she replied, and the steadiness of her voice in that moment was the steadiness of something that has found its ground and is standing on it without holding on. The figure's presence in the clearing began to lose its solidity in the specific way that presences lose their solidity when they are departing by a route that is not physical in the ordinary sense, the particular kind of dissolving that is not death and is not surrender but is withdrawal by means that the ordinary world does not provide obvious words for, and the robed form thinned at its edges like smoke thinning in wind until there was only the quality of the space that the figure had occupied and then not even that, just the clear

Faces rose behind my eyes. Those who hadn’t made it out of the clearing. Warriors who’d taken blows meant for me. People whose names I’d only just learned, whose lives had been clipped at the edge of my story. Joy, at being alive and free, tangled with that guilt until it was hard to separate one from the other. A third feeling slid in under both. Emptiness. Not the bad kind. Just… absence. A space where constant crisis had lived, now suddenly vacant. “What does a girl who’s only ever fought,” I whispered to the empty room, “do when there’s nothing left to fight?”

Eliana felt the words settle into the hollow of her chest, each one a stone dropped into a well that had no bottom. She looked at the scale in the air, the living Eliana upon one pan, the absolute emptiness upon the other. She understood now why the emptiness was so heavy. It was not merely absence. It was the shape of the guide's withheld dissolution, his suspended annihilation, his existence held in abeyance so that hers could continue. The realm had not been cheated. It had been placated. Temporarily.

I recite the poem in my mind: "Since you walked away, how many places have become vain and meaningless, like lights in the day. like lights in the day. Afternoons that were a niche for your image, music in which you always awaited me, words of that time, I will have to break them with my hands. In what hollow will I hide my soul so that it will not see your absence that like a terrible sun, without sunset, shines definitive and merciless? Your absence surrounds me like a rope around my throat,

"Writing poetry has been a source of solace and inspiration for me. Today, I'd like to share a poem I wrote, inspired by moments of reflection and the beauty of. . . Love.” Taking a moment to centre himself, Ryan begins to recite, his voice carrying the rhythm and cadence of his verses: "Not my acrostic smudges; Darkness is running towards me. I am running away from me. A universe is so huge. In just depths of my eyes, The universe is Too vast to fit. I am Asking myself;

One behind Nareth when he stopped midway through a phrase and let it disperse. That’s my work now: Not rhythm. Space. Before attempting to translate it, space for others to recognize themselves in their own breath. Elora (quiet keeper) I folded six notes into the seam of my coat today. Not stitched. Pressed. They hold tone. But no pitch. Only memory of where someone exhaled near me and didn’t realize the wind was watching. I placed them beside the basin field and whispered: > “You don’t need volume to belong.” The moss moved.

Raisa wrote a poem entitled in the quiet, she then reread her work. In a lonely corner of the silent night, I hug your shadow in this loneliness. The longing that slices the heart, Flowed with tears that did not stop. In every beat of my heart, There is your name that echoes sadly. The hope that used to strengthen, Now only a painful memory. I walk in empty hallways, Without direction, without light. All the promises you once made, Are now just shadows that disappear slowly. Time passes slowly and cruelly, Leaving deep wounds.

I believed the haunting, empty coldness they leave in their wake was the worst kind of emptiness a person could feel, but as I lay here on the jagged rocks – my essram shattered into infinite pieces as my body barely clings to life – I realise that this is true emptiness. Pain and exhaustion circulate through my body on an unrelenting loop, my eyes too tired to remain open. The devastating feelings of despair and loneliness are so consuming they have erased every happy memory from my mind. I can’t even remember the sensation of happiness, to the point that as I lay here, feeling the life draining from me, I begin to question if it ever existed, or if I imagined it.

But it didn’t. It was different now. Not thinner. Not thicker. Just hers. She let her spine lean into the wall. Let her knees drift sideways. Didn’t brace. Didn’t poise. Just existed. And her breath? Met the air like it already knew the rhythm she’d taught the world. The silence didn’t feel like lack. It felt like space. The kind left behind when something true has already been said and doesn’t need to be repeated to keep mattering. The system didn’t log her location.
