Empty Heart

"I love you"

Spoken only out of habit

No meaning, No feeling

Only empty words echoed

From the shallow demons

That swirl inside my head.

Obsolete in the world

I am broken, disposed

No longer can I see the light

Nor the happiness it holds.

In the shadows where I walk

Mere images they provoke

Of a past I once possessed

I can never go back.
