Words

A hug would fill the empty void
And soothe the aching soul
A smile or a glance will roll back
The years that took their toll
The distance being what it is
The only possible dole
Is words and words and some more words
To fill this bottomless hole


Bereft of smiles or even a glimpse
or a comforting soothing touch
Not even words are there from you
In my misery, for me to clutch
Only emptiness stares back
Day after day after day
Do return to say those words
That'd help me bear each painful day
