The emptiness within

A shell of a young woman traipses across the grounds

Head down in mourning for herself

No one watches as the hot tears fall down her pallid cheeks

She has turned her face from the sun

Away from the god that was supposed to protect her glass heart

From the heartbreak of having to watch love walk away

She has to watch others take hold of what she once possessed

Arms embrace other bodies of loved ones as eyes glance over

Shyly at lovers standing across the hotel hallway

While she remains empty

No feeling in her soul
