In the vacuum of vacant stares, where eyes once shone so bright
Lies a chasm of empty expressions, a hollow, haunting sight
A mask of meaningless murmurs, a facade of fake delight
A world where words are mere whispers, devoid of true light

Smiles that hide the hurt, laughter that conceals the pain
Greetings that ring hollow, small talk that's just a refrain
Conversations that skim the surface, never daring to dive deep
Leaving us with empty echoes, where connection's meant to seep

In this desert of vacant phrases, we search for a genuine tone
A glimmer of authenticity, a heart that beats like our own
But like autumn leaves that wither, words can lose their might
Leaving us with empty expressions, a hollow, endless night

So let us strive to speak from soul, to let our true selves shine
To fill the void with vulnerability, and make our words divine
For in the silence of sincerity, we find a love that's real
A connection that revives, and makes our hearts truly feel.
