why is it
that i could have everything i'd ever want
but i still feel empty
like there's a puzzle piece missing
and everything
comes back to you
because you're the only thing i don't have
and you completed me
but now i'm left broken
picking up the broken pieces and nicking my fingers like they were the thorns from the roses you gave me
when you said you loved me
you crossed your fingers behind your back
and you were only transparent
to others around me
because when they saw right through you
i saw a broken heart that i took in and tried to fix
but it was all a lie
an illusion
a spell
that i was under
and you were a wicked witch
i thought i could fix you
thought i could make you better
but i only hurt myself
trying to fix someone
too far gone
and so now she's gone
and now i'm empty
and tell me why through all of this
you're the only thing keeping me empty
