I Know, I Alone

Fernando Pessoa

 Next Poem          

I know, I alone
How much it hurts, this heart
With no faith nor law
Nor melody nor thought.

Only I, only I
And none of this can I say
Because feeling is like the sky -
Seen, nothing in it to see.

    Hmm, I'm not sure I really get this poem. It seems kinda sad, like the person is feeling isolated or something? But then, it says that feelings are like the sky and there's nothing to see, so is it about emptiness? I dunno, it's kinda confusing to me. Also, I think the phrasing could be better, it's a little difficult to understand. Can someone explain what the message is? I've read better ones tbh.
