Emptiness Has Its Weight

The emptiness has its weight,

The hollowness occupies its space,

The past remains unchanged,

The present insufferable,

Then why put blame on fate,

Let the emptiness consume you,

Let the tears choke you,

Let all these emotions overpower you,

Let yourself break down just for today,

So that everyday

Little by little you won’t fade away.
