Void

Despair?, this word has no meaning
Heartache?, just another word
Agony?, what does this really mean?
Anger? just something that I've heard

Joy?, just another fairytale
Happiness?, this is only a myth
Loss?, nothing's ever missing
Lust,? to make excuses with

Love?, I laugh whenever I hear it
Lie?, does anybody care?
Sorrow?, just a waste of time
Depression?, just an empty stare

Guilt?, I never do anything wrong
Another useless word is devotion
You see, all these words are meaningless
When one is void of emotion
