The Empty Song

The empty song that

doesn’t have the same

tune as before.

The melodies dying

before the lyrics even

start to form,

like a fallen star that

dies in the midnight sky

and somehow I can feel

the emptiness of this song.

Nothing cures this pain

but to be dulled by the

expressions of happiness.

A fake smile that hides

the hollow darkness inside

of my altered soul,

trying to grasp onto

something before I fall

into the abyss of loneliness.
