Empty

Life is what you make of it

but I'm no artist nor engineer

I've made nothing of my life

and feel like I'm barely here

You are what you eat

at least that's what they say

I can't remember my last meal

and now I'm withering away

When I look inside myself

it's just a shattered heart

Impossible to put together

there's nowhere to start

Puzzle pieces in my soul

but I no longer know

If it's something to be fixed

or where the pieces go

 

It's just a simple rope

and a plain old chair

But for that brief moment

they let me walk on air
