Filling a Void

Inside my heart a space exists
Where pain persists
An empty void
Pain not enjoyed

Looking to find real relief
There’s a belief
That I can grow
More than I know

I look to love to fill this space
To find a place
A place to heal
More love to feel

The rules are rather simple:

• 3 quatrains (or 4-line stanzas)
• 8 syllables in the first line of each stanza
• 4 syllables in the remaining lines of each stanza
• rhyme scheme: aabb/ccdd/eeff
• written in strict iambic meter

So each stanza contains 20 syllables times 3 stanzas equals 60 syllables total.
