I gaze into the mirror's hollowed eyes,
A stranger stares, with tears that surprise.
One moment vibrant, the next, lost and grey,
My soul's pendulum swings, night and day.

What sorcery is this, that steals my light?
Leaving emptiness, a hollowed night.
No warning signs, no whispers of despair,
Just a sudden plunge, without a care.

Expectations none, yet hurt I feel,
A weightless burden, an invisible steel.
No finger to point, no face to blame,
This ache...
