Emptiness

When you're sitting in your room with a cigarette in your mouth,

Listening to those deep, sad songs,

Some people call this emptiness.

People sometimes make sadness and emptiness the same thing.

But actually, emptiness is something way more complex.

You're in the park, watching a happy couple walking hand in hand,

Yet you don't feel anything.

You're with your friends at a party, laughing and talking,

But inside, you don't feel anything.

You're in your room.

Suddenly, you get a text saying your best friend died.

But inside, you feel nothing

No sorrow, no anger,

Literally nothing.

That's emptiness.
