No Easy Answers Poem by Dolores Parsons

There is something missing inside of me...
A void as great as the open sea...
A pit so deep and dark and wide...
It's as if my soul has withered and died.

I long for the laughter of yesterday...
I'm tired of drowning in tears...
I long for love and light in my life...
To replace the darkness and fears.

How do I fill that empty space
That seems to grow larger each day...
How do I rekindle that spark of life...
And make the pain go away.

How do I live without the light
You brought into my heart...
I know I must...
I don't know if I can...

Because I don't know where to start...
