She used to feel whole but feels empty inside You were her everything You made her laugh, Smile and even comforted her When she was weak But feels this deep void of pain That she doesn’t fully understand You say that she changed I would say you have too All of the endless yelling at her changed A part of her she became more withdrawn with her emotions More careful of what she said and do out of fear More cautious with my words And hesitant with moving forward She can explain as to why she changed From that bright and bubbly person that you met Two years ago You see that person two years ago Realized that she had the whole world ahead of her She built up the courage to say no instead of pleasing others Recovering from mental abuse and realizing She deserved better in life And wouldn’t settle for less Unfortunately, that feeling didn’t last Because of the pointless fighting and jealousy She became depressed and fearful Because the thought of losing you Is to painful to bare But continuing this cycle of pain Seems hopeless she wants to be that person again She is buried somewhere deep inside In that empty void Just waiting to come out again But out of fear of being criticized By someone who she thought she loved It might take her longer to resurface again As times have changed And her future is uncertain She is torn Form finding her independence And forging her own path Or hoping on a dream that wasn’t hers, to begin with This empty void She felt this before This hopeless and lonely feeling She knows all too well It brings her no comfort But endless tears at night Crying to herself wondering when this pain will end Did the distance break them? Was it too much for there love to handle? She would like to think it’s not But all of this pain and yelling seems to never end She needs to see that man that she fell in love with Two years ago The thoughtful, caring, spontaneous, understanding man That she felt safe with His insecurities have drained her No more fight is left within her Save for one Her will for independence That hasn’t died yet in this empty void If you cant see the hurting That is happening inside You are the one that is blinded By either control or jealousy It makes no difference This empty void will pass When she sees the man That swept her off her feet Two years ago
