Why?

Why?

Why does this life feel so hollow

Empty on the inside

I see the people

I hear other voices

But not mine

It doesn't matter

Because I don't

 

Alone

Is what I fear

Is what I am

What I shall be?

So it seems

Quietly darkened by insignificance

No solace in this solitude

Nor escape from this unbarred cell

 

I reach out

And stop

No one is there

To take the hand

So the heart withers

Day by day it dies

As a rose kept from the light

A forget-me-not, forgotten
