The Hollow Within

I can’t explain this emptiness inside,
A vast abyss where all my hopes reside.
The stars are cold, their light a distant sting,
A sky of sorrow where no angels sing.

Each breath feels hollow, drawn from tired air,
A fleeting whisper of a lost despair.
The world spins on, relentless in its pace,
While I dissolve, a shadow out of place.

This void consumes the fragments of my past,
A cruel reminder nothing ever lasts.
What once was full has crumbled into dust,
A fragile echo of forgotten trust.

The night is long, its silence heavy, deep,
A broken promise that denies me sleep.
I wander through its maze, too numb to cry,
A ghost of who I was, unsure why.

If healing comes, it feels too far away,
The faintest murmur of a distant day.
For now, I linger here where shadows cling,
And mourn the loss of every fragile thing.
