Emptiness

by Abandoned Angel   Jun 26, 2013


You look at me with an empty stare,
you smile but you don't really care.
The ice cold knife of misery has hit,
and it's took your happiness every last bit.
Blank expressions fill the room,
no one ever expected this doom.

The black sky melts into the sun,
another sleepless night,
and nowhere to run.

You keep hiding but you can't escape,
the voices reminding you this is fate.
Another day with guilt and fear,
hoping the exit is somewhere near.

    This flowed very naturally in my opinion; I don't know rhyming or meter well but to me you kept it simple yet conveying a lot between the lines in expressing that feeling of being hollow inside, empty.

    I like the ending too, a bit of hope and desire, just having that one thought on your mind that the next day will bring something new (no longer filled with fear). There was actually a lot left unsaid that had me wondering, which I love how you don't give details/background who the "you" is... but I definitely felt the panic almost of him/her, and how they consistently feel trapped.

    Good poem, keep writing!
