Some people may say it's good
That I have a family
I have good friends
I am single
But I just feel empty
Just when I think things are looking up for me
Then everything falls apart
One after another
Piece by piece
And no one can stop it
But somehow I bring a smile to my face
Even though I am empty
People say they care
But do they really?
Do people really want me around?
Just a phone call
A text
Anything
Silence
Isolation
Boredom
Silence
Are what my days bring
It is empty
My life
My soul
My fellowship of others
Are all empty
It is now time for the Christmas season
I feel no joy
No peace
No love
Hell...
I don't even feel any Christmas spirit
Nor cheer
I am just empty
Is all for not
Is my life a waste?
Am I supposed to feel this way?
At Christmas time I have people that love
And trust me
By my side
This year I have nobody
I am just empty
I am not one
To cry wolf
Nor lie to the people I love
I just feel empty
And I don't know if it will ever change
