Teardrop
The emptiness deep inside comes with pain
is not understood or a reason found
this loneliness will languish as a bane
a shadowed realm lived from birth is profound
Joy is a far-off world one can dream of
where a smile is more than a silent thought
to live with emptiness and without love
is a continuous loop in time caught
where emptiness births a darker offspring
and feelings are not worth the time to touch
no hope to be lived for a soul to sing
left with the emptiness within not much
to stare in the void to hear nothing call
lay alone in the dark a tear will fall
