Empty

Silence gnaws at my soul, relentless,
Louder than a banshee’s mournful cry.
Torn from my core, I drift, senseless,
In the void where echoes die.

Let me in! Let something out!
Bleed the desires of my hollow heart
Before they fade in shadows, stout,
And my dreams and I, forever part.

Lost in sunken hollows deep,
Memories linger, faint and thin.
Did they already into silence creep,
Or still, in darkness, spin?
