Empty like the smile on your face
like all the words you say
it’s all meaningless.
Tears are in vain
pain is inevitable
but I refuse to feel.
Joy is an illusion
life is void of purpose.
God remains silent
Hope whispers quietly,
I turn away because
hope takes courage and
I don’t have the courage to hope.
My eyes are dry
my laugh is hollow
the lights are out and the rain is falling.
One day it will wash away
all the heartache of
this wasted life.
