Empty and Hopless

The only
sounds are my rapid breathing and
the echo of my footsteps
I'm so lonely...

I fold
my arms around myself
to try and warm the goosebumps suddenly on me;
it's so cold.

There is light up ahead that I can see.
However, it isn't
comforting, not at all and panic
begins to seize me.

I realize that it's just my imagination
there is no light, there
never will be,
it was my mind's creation.

I'm empty of all emotion,
I feel nothing for anyone or even
anything, just in
case you got that notion.

Here I have laid,
no, lost myself in
this darkness; now and
only now I will fade...
