A body with a hollow soul, A life steeped deep in sorrow’s bowl. None beside me none to see, And even I feared to look at me. Riddles of life, all tangled tight, Threads unending, lost to sight. I walked on paths I ne’er had known, In search of good or perhaps my own. Who knows the way? Who marks the shore? Like the sea, I move forevermore. Who am I? What am I for? A whisper lost in time’s faint roar. And still I ponder, soft, in fright Is this the world, or dream of night? For still I dwell in twisted thread, Each strand a noose around what’s left Of me.

A Hollow Soul
A body with a hollow soul, A life steeped deep in sorrow’s bowl. None beside me none to see, And even I feared to look at me. Riddles of life, all tangled tight, Threads unending, lost to sight. I walked on paths I ne’er had known, In search of good or perhaps my own. Who knows the way? Who marks the shore? Like the sea, I move forevermore. Who am I? What am I for? A whisper lost in time’s faint roar. And still I ponder, soft, in fright Is this the world, or dream of night? For still I dwell in twisted thread, Each strand a noose around what’s left Of me.
