Empty


I am here, but my soul is
empty.
I am alone in a world
surrounded by people.
I keep searching for
someone or something to capture
my heart.

There are many opportunities
at my door.
But I slam the door and turn
them away.

And then I stop looking, hoping
and longing
for things to turn out.
My heart grows ice and my
head bows down. I know I
have lost all faith
in love,
in life,
in myself.
