Empty

Someone comes near me to talk,

I tense up and turn to walk away.

I can’t take the feeling of emptiness,

Each day.

Whenever someone asks what’s wrong,

I look at them, annoyed.

It’s hard, you know,

To make someone understand what runs through my head.

This pain I feel,

It hurts so bad.

The joy I once had

Is only a distant memory of the life before.

I want to change back time,

Return to the good days,

When nothing went wrong,

And there was a smile on every face.

Now, there are frowns.

Always something to bring someone down.

Everything that happened,

Everything that was said,

Is only a distant memory,

Of the life I used to have.
