my heart is empty
like the streets
once crowded by people
it’s so quiet
I listen to music
to try and make it go away
but the internal loneliness remains
this past year has felt like
one of those dreams
you just can’t wake up from
you are awake enough
to vividly feel every single bit of it
yet unable to return
to the real world
my motivation
comes in waves
while I constantly switch
between the states of
feeling nothing and
feeling everything at once
I’ve been endlessly swimming
in the vast sea of my thoughts
I’m tired
yet there is nothing but sadness
around me
