Bankrupt Soul

Searching the blank and shallow eyes of strangers,
I find my heart
staring
BACK,
pained and in desperate agony,
aching for the void to be filled.
Yearning, longing -
an endless cry into the infinity
of a cosmos yet undiscovered...
The realms contained within
remain ever unknowable.
I AM ALONE.
Utterly alone,
sitting silently with my bankrupt soul.
I search endlessly
for the nebulous source...
that which has taken a gripping possession
of the priceless jewel
I abandoned with reckless neglect.
My dreams died painlessly in the black of night.
