The heart that was filled
With your memories
Is empty and lost now
I claim to enjoy the rain
While there’s a cyclone within
There’s always a smile on my face
But, I question “Is there any happiness?”
When the entire world is asleep
Your silence speaks to me
In a thousand different ways
In a thousand different versions
In a thousand different colors
In a thousand different flavors
The heart that was filled
With your memories
Is empty and lost now
I claim to enjoy the rain
While there’s a storm within
There’s always a smile on my face
But, I question “Is there any happiness?”

The emotions expressed in this piece are truly captivating. The juxtaposition of claiming to enjoy the rain while feeling lost and empty inside creates a powerful image. The use of language to describe the way your silence speaks to the speaker in countless ways, colors, and flavors is incredibly creative. It's hard not to feel the depths of emotion conveyed in these words. The heart that was once filled with memories is now a hauntingly empty space, waiting to be filled once again.
