An Endless Void

My memories faded fast

like shadows in the past

the echoes of laughter

replaced by a silent disaster

hearts once close, now apart

the rhythm of life lost its start

Loneliness crept in like night

dimmed the stars, stole the light

tears dried before they fell

in a silent, empty shell

the world spun on, I stood still

trapped in a void, against my will

Time became a distant shore

a ticking clock, a closing door

each tick a reminder of loss

each tock a toll, a heavy cost

forgotten by time, unseen, unheard

life reduced to a whisper, a blurred word

Dreams once bright now dim and gray

chasing the light that slips away

hopes like leaves in autumn's breath

drifting down to silent death

the song of life turned to a dirge

a somber tune, a mournful surge

Eyes that once sparkled with light

now stare into the endless night

hands that held love, now empty and cold

a story of sorrow, a tale untold

the silence louder than any sound

an endless void where I am bound

Seasons changed, but not for me

locked in winter's eternity

no spring to bring its bloom

no summer to chase the gloom

fall's colors fade to black and white

an endless, unchanging night

People pass, like shadows fleeting

voices a distant, ghostly greeting

a touch, a smile, a laugh, a tear

all faded into the ether, unclear

connections lost, bonds erased

in this void, I'm displaced

Eyes closed to see the light

to escape this unending night

but dreams bring no solace, no peace

only echoes of a past, a brief release

awake or asleep, the void remains

a silent witness to my pains

Walls close in, the room grows small

my world reduced to this narrow hall

each step a struggle, each breath a fight

to hold on, to endure the night

but hope is a distant, fading star

lost in the vastness, ever so far

Once vibrant life, now a ghost

a shadow of what mattered most

the warmth of the sun, a distant memory

now cold and dark, my only scenery

days blur, nights blend

into an endless, friendless end

Familiar places, unfamiliar now

lost in the maze, don't know how

to find my way back to what was

to the life, the love, the cause

each corner turned, leads nowhere

just deeper into despair

Words once flowed like a river

now stuck in the throat, a shiver

communication lost in the void

no solace, no comfort enjoyed

a silence that screams within

a battle I'll never win

Faces blend, names confuse

in the fog of forgetfulness, I lose

grasp on reality, on what's true

everything once clear, now askew

lost in a maze of fading thought

in a world where I'm forgot

Hands reach out, but I can't see

the lifeline that's meant for me

blinded by the dark, by the fear

by the loss of all that's dear

alone in this endless night

searching for a glimmer of light

Yet somewhere deep, a spark remains

a tiny flame through all the pains

a hope that someday, light will break

through the void, for my sake

that life will return, love will heal

that I'll once again, feel

That spark, my guide, my saving grace

in this dark, forsaken place

I hold on tight, I won't let go

for the promise of a tomorrow

where light will conquer the night

where everything will be alright

In the darkest hour, I find my strength

to endure, to hold on at length

for the dawn that will come, I believe

for the morning that will relieve

this night, this void, this endless pain

and bring back life, love, again

Someone flipped a switch

but it will switch back

the phone will ring, the light will track

days will find names, months will slow

seasons will return, life will glow

the void will shrink, faces will reappear

names will become clear

Words will flow, life will renew

confusion will fade, clarity will view

the spark will ignite a blazing flame

life will call me back by name

the void will recede, love will win

the darkness will end, light will begin
