Empty

There's no place to suffer,

no going away.

It's dark in here

all of my days.

No smiling lights,

no happy surprise.

Only this disguise,

of constant lies.

I know they bother them,

my sad eyes.

They can't bear to see,

they want me to hide.

Just stay empty inside,

so they won't feel down.

Still one by one,

they'll all turn around.

They won't ever stay,

or test their extent of pain.

They only obey

their impulse to stray far away.

They'll desert me to ache

in this dark hole they can’t take,

where I get no relief

not even in sleep.

So I guess save yourself

I’ll taint that light you keep.

I'll burden your soul,

til you can't take anymore.

Then I'll drain you dry

before I kiss you goodbye.

And you'll never know

when it's all done,

I'll still be empty

but you'll be gone.
