emptiness fills the heart like darkness
of the nighttime sky.
everything that should be has disappeared
yet nobody knows why.

harsh words are spoken dangerously as
they flow from uncontrollable lips.
describing turmoil as one may often face out
in the ocean of a turbulent ridden ship.

screams within can be heard by all who lives
on the opposite side of town.
yet nobody cares about the face of a broken
man that carries a broken frown.

touched by spoils of an everlasting war that
carries so much destructive despair.
one finds it harder each day to continue to
breathe in life's supporting air.

what hope does one have if he has nothing
to believe in.
if all has been taken without one ever having
a fair chance to win.
