I feel empty and hollow

I am empty of the tears
That used to stream down my cheeks
In a never ending river of pain
Drowning me in my own sorrows

I am empty of the hope
That I would one day get better
That there're still places without pain
I now know that pain is everywhere
There is no escape from it

I am empty of the joy
That used to fill me at the sight of you
That I would feel with loved ones

I am empty of it all
I cannot be filled by anything
My heart has become a bottomless pit
I am constantly falling
Farther and farther into the darkness
That is depression

It lingers over you
Always there
It becomes your entire being
While still leaving you
Empty.
