The sun shines through the window The budding trees sway in the breeze Life has awoken from winter Purpose and new life is filling the land On this spring morning in the silent perfection there should be hope and meaning Yet I sit here in the dark A shell of what I once was A canyon inside with a single echo. Help. A hole in my heart and a heavy burden Visions of a life that was meant for me I reach out my hand and nearly touch it Then watch it fade and disappear It returns, it goes, it returns, it goes This perpetual torture, I look for its maker. I search and search, who is doing this to me? Then I find him. In the mirror. The cycle restarts, the purpose, the joy, the meaning returns. I reach to touch it and as always. It fades. The light goes out. It’s dark. It’s cold. I retreat into my bubble. Seeking safety. Then it consumes me. The thick icy sharp blanket that is guilt. I see her. I see her with him. I see her happy. I watch as she grows, I watch as she loves. I wish I had my place back. The agony takes over. The memories we share, the habits we formed The endless laughs, the tears of joy The food, the drink, the touch, the smiles The warmth, the comfort, the healing. I can nearly reach it on this spring morning. I can almost feel like it’s real. But as always it fades. Empty is here. And shall remain. Until she makes me whole again. The silence so loud. The darkness so bright The consistent pain. It’s all your fault. Purgatory is your destiny. Decisions were made, Dinner was served it was time to eat You threw the plate at the wall when your belly could have been full you made your choice. Empty. You’re forever empty. Until she makes you whole again.

You fell empty? Feel its time to dwell? Dont ever ponder....hope for the wishing well. Take charge of your spirit. Take charge of your soul. Take charge of your life....just fill that hole. It's not as bad as you think Even at the brink You feel empty? Pull the plug out the sink.

Hollow
Your breath gets taken your chest is tight. you try to grasp with all your might the world gets dark the light is gone. you wonder what you did wrong. is this the end is life really ending  you start to reflect on all the pretending then all of a sudden with a mighty gasp. you get your breath back. oh gosh. at last. your heart rate lowers you're finally back. thank God it was just a panic attack.

Panic
Woke up and a feel rough Lord knows that a drank enough In way past midnight Looking out to the day light Need to rebuild my energy Cuppa t is the remedy When a man's from Yorkshire No milk is torture Wanna go back to bed Have a nap like im dead Had too much whisky Scotch is always risky Then was drinking red wine Deffo not fee ling fine "Goes to my heaaaaad" Is an under statement My head fell off on the pavement Never wanna drink again tell me what you think again now I wanna start again shoulda smoked the reef instead Now I really need hydration Or maybe migration Did i say something bad Did I make someone mad Woke up and I feel rough Lord knows that I drank enough
