Empty Streets, Empty Heart

The neighborhood lay quiet around me—no cars passed, no distant voices, just the gentle rustle of leaves and the sound of my restless footsteps. The stillness of the streets mirrored the emptiness yawning inside me, a hollow void craving answers. I walked on, letting the cool air dull the chaos in my mind, attempting to gather the scattered fragments of a life that now felt shattered like broken puzzle pieces strewn across these deserted roads.

Sitting on a familiar bench, I let the past and present merge into a tangled web, overwhelmed by the heavy weight of lost innocence.
