So, this emptiness inside of me.
It's trying to consume all that I used to be.
All I'm asking is to feel again.
All I'm asking is to care again.

So, I'm trying to rebuild my heart.
This pile of junk is just the start.
All I'm asking is to want again.
All I'm asking is to love again.

So, this apathy is getting rather boring.
My head and my heart keep warring.
All I'm asking is to see again.
All I'm asking is to will again.

Who needs depression and angst?
I don't want that (I don't want that).
Feeling nothing isn't much better.

I'm not used to this heart being so.
Broken and empty (broken and empty).
I hope you know I'm trying to love you.
This is a poem I wrote earlier in the year, before writers block hit me, hahaha. I don't think it's that great, I just sat down and wrote it, my english teacher at the time very much so disagreed with me and thought it was awesome :). Mine, please don't take it.
Dear Sunshine,
I hate to tell you things that make you cry and make you sad,
But time has stolen my feelings and my words are left unsaid.
I've lost the love that we once had,
All the good and all the bad.
I know, perhaps once we said forever
But the tattered ribbons must be severed
Don't frown sunset
Don't hide behind the hill
Throw your beams of orange and red
Catch the eye of another instead
Just don't cast that light on me.
I've made my choice to go, and you can't come with me, Sunshine
There's only one ticket, and only one suitcase
Only enough room for one blazing fire.
Please keep burning, I wouldn't want you to die
It's just that I can't love you or live this awful lie.
Dear Sunset,
You were my Sunrise
But now you're my moon
Please don't come home, please don't knock
I've already locked the door.
