In this moment I've never felt so empty My heart is a wooden slab being knawed away at by pesky termites that leave unrepairable holes And my lungs like Swiss cheese that can't seem to give me the oxygen I need in order to rid the lump of sorrow in my throat It's in this moment that your back has turned to me, as I count your steps and wait to hear the slamming of a car door I count on you to look back at me and smile, but my hope has again betrayed me, and I realize the last I'll see of you will have been this moment So I've never felt so empty I've never felt so alone
