Closing my eyes I realize that I am surrounded by nothingness. I am completely alone in this place of no return. The light that once set my heart ablaze, has flickered and burned out. The only thing that remains in this harsh reality is the pain of knowing that I once loved but will never love again. The last solitary ray of hope has long since died. The demons in my heart, tearing it to shreds until there is nothing left but blood-soaked remnants around their feet. Praying this is all a terrible mistake, I'm not really barren inside. I could still feel something. I feel nothing but misery searing deep within my soul. A rivulet of icy tears flows from my vacant stare.
