empty-
spaces.

vacant-
places.

expressionless-
faces.

lifeless-
eyes.

hollow-
insides.

jaded-
mind.

vacuous-
feelings.

asinine-
beliefs.

meaningless-
triumphs.

paled-
euphoria.

deplorable-
life.

one walks in the shadows,
unequalled, solitary, alone.

one pangs to cover the path,
unparalled, unrivalled, alone.

victory might come,
be yours after all.

at what price,
at what cost,
when the breathing becomes alien,
the meanings are all gone?
