An Empty Smile

An empty smile is all I can afford today my friend.
I'm in need of a heartfelt hug, and some meaningful words,
if you have these things to lend.

I inquire about your day and comment on the weather, pretending as though I care.
Followed by these empty words comes a cold and distant stare.

Today feels so hollow.
I contemplate whether or not I like this numbed state.
I am grateful now to be relieved from these feelings, which I hate.
And so I give this empty smile which I almost couldn't bare.
An empty smile followed by a cold and distant stare.

I think this is really very good. You've expressed so well the emptiness many of us so often feel.

A river of change is rushing over me, through me. Forfeit to the waters, forget the past, live in the present.
