Emptiness

I'm sitting here

On the inside dying

On the outside crying

With my rotting heart full of fear



I see you there

Shaking your head and sighing

Telling me I'm lying

Before you smack me 'sincere'



Your mom hates me

That much is easy to see

Your friends debate about me

And react to the hitting with glee



On the outside I'm dying

Inside I'm crying

Your mom and friends lying

And you're just sighing



Stop all of you I plea

But your friends keep hurting me

Your mom helps with ill-concealed glee

As you and they torture me



Pull my heart out

Throw it to the floor

Stomp on it some more

Give a shout as my red blood spouts



Perhaps you don't see

How you are killing me

By accusing me of lying

While I die-while I'm crying



Perhaps you can't see

How you are hurting me

by calling me a loose whore

And always wanting more



Even a new moon ritual

turned into a virtual

Tear-sob-cry-gulp fest

As I put the Goddess to the test



Having her answer questions many

Asking Her of hope at all, hope any

All She and He would say

Is try again next day



So I'm stuck fast here

Heart full of sadness, hate, and despair,

My mind on one constant fear -

That you'll leave me crying, dying here.
