Empty
My
life is empty
My
world is empty
A
void has eaten away at my happiness
That void has become me
Others might not see it
It
imitates me well.
But I know who I have become
Nothing
No feelings of truth, of love
Only a
black hole
Which every day I descend into
I know there is no hope of escaping
It's a bottomless pit of
despair
An eternal suffering
I reach for something to keep me
safe
Always, my arm falls short
Or maybe, just maybe
The safety's a
hallucination
Like water in a desert
An empty
hope
An empty
life
