Nothingness
I gazed at the city lights,
but felt nothing—
this city,
a vault of memories,
echoes of my life.
I turned my gaze to the sky,
the stars, indifferent,
as if I stared into infinite nothingness.
In his eyes, I sought
that spark to make my heart beat again,
but found only emptiness.
The music played,
yet I could not hear its song—
sight and sound, mere whispers,
touching my mind,
but never reaching my heart
nor my soul.
Am I but a shadow,
adrift above the ocean,
unable to dive into its depths,
deprived of the beauty,
the life hidden beneath the waves?
