I am empty inside,
eaten away by despair,
as if my soul has died,
but it was never there.

I would crumble in shame,
if my thoughts were aloud.
I do not know your name,
I am alone in the crowd.

Can’t live with what I’ve done,
I’m afraid of what I’ll do.
I have loved no one,
I am not like you.

I can feel no emotion.
I do not understand.
I am cold as the ocean,
a stranger dying on the sand.
