The emptiness

Hushed voices echoed into oblivion

The voices, which once spoke volumes

Which once broke the barriers

Silenced in the agony, of life.

Hope was left to scar

Thoughts were pulled into trance

Words lost their purpose

While the voices, what voices?

As the scars dug deeper,

As the expressions felt astray

As the emotions faded into apathy

Mind hushed the reminisce.

Shouted, shouted till the lungs burst

Cried, cried till there were no tears left

God collects your tears, they said

Why did he even give tears?

Light faded in the sunshine

As the sun sprang from the east

Was there even a silver lining ?

In the inane thunderstorms

Empty was the nightfalla

Stars which stopped twinkling,

Stories were left vacuous

The life, the charm that it lost.
