Empty Spaces

Tears drip, floors a canvas for pain. Heart heavy, shackled bound by a chain. Every beat of the drum, my sorrow's refrain. Soul lost in shadows, drowning in the rain. Echoes scream loud in the chambers of my mind. Every memory a blade, but they're hard to rewind. Searching through the dark, but no light to find. Broken pieces scattered, leaving life confined. City lights flicker, but my world's gone dim. Street sings a hymn, cold as the wind. Bottles in a bag, drowning demons that swim. Skeletons in the closet, their dance so grim. Clouds bleed black, storms bruise the sky. Questions unanswered, screams asking why. Dreams turn to ash, they wither then die. Truth unspoken, drowning in this lie. Unfold the letters that never were sent. Words too raw, so my heart's content. Stuck in this spiral, a life misspent. Regret piles higher, it's my only lament. Echoes scream loud in the chambers of my mind. Every memory a blade, but they're hard to rewind. Searching through the dark, but no light to find. Broken pieces scattered, leaving life confined.
