In the hollow of my chest, a silence breeds A vast and endless void, where thoughts are dead The echoes of my heartbeat, a distant hum A reminder that life itself is numb I wander through the ruins of my mind A desolate landscape, devoid of kind The winds of time whisper secrets in my ear But I'm deaf to the whispers, lost in the fear Memories of love now mock me with their presence Fleeting moments of joy, forever repressed Like autumn leaves that wither and decay All that's left is the ash of what's been said In this barren land, I search for a spark A flame to guide me through the dark But it's extinguished by the weight of my own despair Leaving only the echoes of nothingness there The shadows that haunt me, they grow and spread A living darkness that devours all in its head I'm trapped in this abyss, forever confined A prisoner of my own mind In this desolate world, I'm but a ghost A fleeting thought, soon to be lost In the vast expanse of nothingness, I'm adrift A leaf on a stream, without a lifeline or drift
