The Numbness of Nothing

Silent like a shadow,
Softly slipping, falling, failing.
Empty eyes reflect no joy,
Only broken dreams.
Lips with no words
Sing no songs.
Hearts without hope are just
Hollow shells.
She's the girl who cannot smile;
Call her name,
No one answers.
Hold her hand,
No one's there.
A product of the modern world.
Life without living,
Movement without meaning.
The numbness of nothing
Is more profound
Than any words.
