Empty

You saved me once
Will you save me again?
This time though
I won’t reach out
Maybe you’ll be here
Even when I don’t call
Maybe you’ll be here
When I really do need you

I’m not reaching out
I won’t save myself
This time it’s different
You’ve spoken four words
No emotions tonight
Four meaningless words
And maybe you’ll save me
But I don’t think you will

I won’t end it all
That would mean I felt
But tonight there is nothing
An emptiness now
That’s never been here before
The only way to fill it
Is with blood
Just enough
So I’m not quite so
...
Empty

Perhaps it’s too late
You’ve waited too long
Scissors in hand
Pressed against skin
Digging in
Not cutting yet
This time it’s not for blood
This time it’s for pain
So maybe
Just maybe
I won’t feel nothing much longer
It’ll be covered by pain
And at least then
I’ll have feeling again
