I look at the night sky for something I cannot see, something all around this world, but not inside of me.

I searched and searched every land everywhere, to fill the emptiness inside of me, a feeling I cannot bear.

Releasing my gaze, I thought about my past, but all I remember is happiness that never did last.

Flashbacks of smiles and laughter came to my mind, then darkness surrounded me, capturing me in a bind.

But you hear from me nothing, because silence is key, for if I long to feel, then you must not see.

So long it has been, since I have felt that way, I have endured its absence, every night and every day.

I don't think I'll ever escape this chamber of pain; it will haunt me for the rest of my life, pouring down on me like a never ending rain.
