You've tried to lose this feeling in the maze but somehow it always finds its way back to you. You don't remember when you first noticed you had it but it feels as though you've had it forever, only noticed in the silence.
You've tried to block it out by surrounding yourself with people but even through the crowd it finds its way back to you, you find yourself with a cold emptiness you can't seem to fill. In your fits of anger you've tried shouting out at someone hoping it will leave you with that anger you feel but that only seems to make it worse...
You try eating your heart out but even after your stomach is stuffed there it is, a space you just can't fill.
Loud music seems to work but just as one song finishes and the other starts, you feel it briefly. As if telling you it’s still there.
You decide to seek companionship with someone, but just like music when your companion is away the feeling creeps back in. Once again that cold hole in your chest opens up, and it gets bigger as you think of it...
