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?
