My head, my heart, they are empty,
producing, containing nothing.
Yet, they are stuffed to the max,
flooding with thoughts, emotions, worries, hopes.
How can one be so empty, yet so full?
I am a ghost existing,
alive and dead in this twisted world.
They drain us of vitality and fill us with emptiness.
We are the lost.
Don’t bother looking for us,
we are already gone, found.

to you I am but a memory,
waiting to be forgotten

I wish to sleep
and cease to breathe,
and then maybe I'll be free

All I did was fail today.
falling into love is okay.
the landing's a *****, though.
