A shattered shadow wanders,
bearing the weight of a weary shell,
each heartbeat a cry
unheard,
unclaimed.
Withered tears
etch unseen scars,
while the throat still smolders
with the silence of all that vanished.
No stars remain to guide,
no hands to anchor,
only the patient abyss
stretching wide, unbroken.
And in the final gaze,
a hollow reflection lingers —
of one who once loved,
now fading,
dissolving
into the echo of the void.

- Comment from author about the poem: I wrote this poem in a moment when silence felt heavier than any words. It speaks of that emptiness that sometimes takes over inside, leaving nothing but painful memories. “The Echo of the Void” is exactly that: a way to put into words what is so hard to say out loud. It’s not just sadness — it’s also a way of letting it out, so that what I carry inside doesn’t stay silent forever.

There is something existential about this poem and a perceived journey in search of feeling and meaning. Nicely written
Lore, you captured the ache of silence turning heavier than words. It’s painful, but also cathartic…letting it out on the page. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
