"A Hollow Heart" Poem, by Friendship, at My poetic side

"A Hollow Heart"

In vacant spaces, I reside,

A soul devoid of love's warm tide.

I search for feelings, night and day,

But find only emptiness in their way.

My heart, a fortress, closed and grey,

Impenetrable, with no way to sway.

The flames of passion, long since ceased,

Leaving only ash, and a melancholy breeze.

I try to feel, to love, to care,

But emotions pass, without a single snare.

I'm a ghost, a shadow of a man,

Incapable of love, with a heart of sand.

In dreams, I see the love I've known,

A fleeting glimpse of a heart that's grown.

But when I wake, the feeling's gone,

And I'm left with nothing but a hollow song.

I've tried to fill the void with temporary highs,

But the emptiness remains, a constant, gnawing sigh.

I've searched for answers in the darkest night,

But the truth remains, a loveless, endless fight.

Perhaps, I'm broken, perhaps, I'm cold,

A heart of stone, with a love that's grown old.

Or maybe I'm just lost and can't find my way,

To a love that's real, and a heart that can stay.

Whatever the reason, the truth remains the same,

I'm not capable of love, and it's a heartbreaking shame.

For in a world that's full of love, and laughter, and light,

I'm a solitary figure, lost in the dark of night.
