Joy no longer lives here
Within this empty shell
It only cries endlessly
Showers of sorrow and pain
It no longer knows of love
Or happiness unchained

Starring blankly outward
Refusing to watch the show
Forgetting those around me
And everything I know
Turning inward to my thoughts
Nowhere left to go
