(No) Empty Soul

Ferris Ramirez, “Sea of Sorrow”

by Zayne Simard-Moore 

Dear Love, 

How do I fill this empty soul inside? How do I fill this heart inside? 

Dear Grief, 

I feel the hollow heart; 

The knowledge of what is there signals life― Yet, there is life beneath the stains of time. 

Dear Agony, 

I feel the emptiness inside; 

Why do I try when my soul died— Long ago. 

Dear Agony, 

I feel this hollow soul inside; 

Why do I try when I died— 

Long ago. 

Dear Life, 

Suffer slowly; 

Is this the way it’s meant to be― 

No.
