Empty

Silent laughter…
Almost empty, ringing…
A smile that stops
At the lips…
Fading…Watery
Never to reach the eyes…
Dying…. Painful…
Bitter laughter,
Worse than furious tears…
Hollow, never surfacing…Screaming out quietly.
Failing attempts…
To fake real laughter.
To kiss joy goodbye,
To forget everything but pain.
Sore wounds,
Being scarred again…
To watch death
Taking its toll
On a dying soul…
Trying to live...
