Empty

These angry words all written in blood

are all to show them what you've done

you hurt me deeper than I can show

this pain affects me more than anyone can know

this pain, this hurt, was caused by you

and all the hurt you did, you cant undo

you drew me close then threw me away

I don't understand why you couldn't stay

I guess your just scared of life

scared of lying on the edge of the knife

scared of living life with just one person in stride

scared of showing what's truly inside

your heart of hearts, your mind, your soul

and to hold it in will take its toll

you'll find one day you cannot tell

what's in your heart, you'll be in hell

as I am now, no love, no hate

you'll then discover its much too late

as I am now, no hope, no fear

you'll wish, oh wish, to see a tear

to be ripped away from your dry eyes

you'll wish for that to breath a sigh

a sigh of release from the emptiness

a final sigh without the mess

of bloody gore, of suicide

you'll fear the emptiness will not subside

the pain you'll welcome, and come to love

the pain assures your still alive, with one quick shove

you'll show the world what you really are

an empty shell for love to fill

but no love appeared, just pain to kill

the pain you'll see will frame your heart

and then you will likely start

to wonder when you got so numb

you'll think and think and then succumb

to the pain of life, the pain self-caused

the pain of life put on pause

you'll try to think of when it last was

the last time you felt the buzz

that true emotions tend to bring

you'll wonder when last you felt the sting

of true emotional pain

you'll want to feel this acid rain you'll want to feel anything

you'll wonder if anyone is as empty as you

well I'm there.
