and I am empty I am empty, holding your firm body to my chest the feeling of your rib cage eating away at what is supposed to be me I am supposed to be here your post mortem jet lag is nothing I couldn't have guessed at before unable to rest as you are here rather than I why is it that you're so tangible it was supposed to be you that was a shell and yet you are here in my shell the whole of what is left of me aching to keep you in this strangle hold I am full of what you've become and I am empty
