**I want to feel something—anything at all,**

**From endless words to tears that fall,**

**Once a river that carried my pain,**

**Now silent waters, dry and plain.**

****

**The hardest battles, I’ve fought to the end,**

**Overcame, though it took all I could spend.**

**Yet here I stand, no tears to cry,**

**Numb in a world that’s passing by.**

****

**Two stars above, watch over me still,**

**Souls I cherish, though they feel distant, still.**

**Lives I’ve lost, angels I’ve known,**

**Yet no tears for them, though I’m not alone.**

****

**It’s as if I’m wrapped in hollowed walls,**

**A shadow that stumbles, trips, then falls.**

**Each day I wake to the same gray skies,**

**But no fire stirs behind these eyes.**

****

**I long for the storms that raged before,**

**The waves that crashed, the heart that soared.**

**Now I drift in an empty sea,**

**Searching for any part of me.**
