The Void Inside Us (Collab)

I feel empty, very void.

I don’t know how and I don’t know why.

But it is a burning flame inside of me

Igniting my very being.

Not happy not sad, I don’t feel I feel

The void devours my words before I speak

I close my eyes and phosphenes die out

Like a cellar deprived of light for ages

The world revolving around me seems so disparate

Like it’s all against me

Sometimes I wonder how it could so bad.

Or is it the void which makes me think so much.

In need of a hand to hold mine when I lay numb

To pull me out and lend me a purpose

Listen me out as I crave to be heard

To fill my emptiness with a fire of passion

This was my first ever and beautiful collaboration with Riya, an attempt to write about that feeling of emptiness within us.
