What do empty words contain?

There was a pause
A sentence gulped
A hope submerged
Into the fear
Of uncertainty.

And then
A series of silence
Followed a series
Of empty words.

And fell into the
Void
Between us.

Making us
Part.

Further.

Beautiful, touching, turns you numb.
And an amazing structure too... reducing verbosity in the flow of the poem adds to the visual effect of the parting. And the last stanza with a single word "Further" is killing. Wow! mind blowing!
Cheers, Meenakshi

how far, how close,
you are just in a circle...
beat the line and come around
you will, to me...
or may be this time
the force of centrifuge
will give us a refuge
indeed further
away from each other...
