next to nothing

Without you I'm next to nothing
I feel your warmth on my skin
It's haunting me
Every night I try to sleep

I'm not feeling safe and sound
I'm next to nothing when you're not around
This ghost town running up in flames
I feel nothing in these bones but shame

If you were bad for me
Why do I miss you?
Why do I need you?
Was I the problem?

You're beautiful when you're not hurting me
I wish you always looked that way
But you don't even remember me
I drink and smoke my misery away

I'm nothing now
Just a husk of my old self
I can't feel anything but pain
But at the same time
I feel so fucking empty

Bury me
Next to your name
Weary old me
I can never believe someone would want me
