Emptiness

Feeling empty
heart is hollow
indifferent
to everything around
listening 
to the sound of voices
disconnected from reality

Drifting
through life
day and night
mind and body are awake
but the heart is asleep
everything seems wrong
nothing seems right

Happiness is so brief
like a moving shadow 
in the night
time is fleeting
like the passing wind
nothing stays the same
life is but an empty dream
