Empty

Emptiness resides

It hides deep inside

Reaches dark nights

Dark hearts and dark frights

The fear of anxiety and loss

Late at night to turn and toss

Through hoops it drains

Mixes feelings and emotions rain

Depleting the will to live

Empty but so much to give

Over thinking thoughts are sought

A bloody battle lost but fought

Pain tears through the heart

And fear rips empty apart

A heavy heart, slow beating

Nothing to fight is defeating

Self inflicted, addicted

Self hatred is convicted

Depression is saddened deeper

Wishing for death to take as the keeper

Numbness in the soul, absolutely no control

Bottled up and hidden

Kept inside and insanity driven

Not able to feel anything, but feels everything

When blood falls, pain is no such thing

Filling out the empty heart of love

The desperate search for flying above

Loneliness falls and disparity calls

A sudden change of feeling

The night inside the empty heart is stealing

So fall back, relax

And darkness fills

Try to resist and darkness kills

Pain and fear drive side by side

Tried and died

All is felt is everything

Only inside to feel nothing

Pain and sadness are feared

Stricken into a heart, it's seared

Inside just searching for a love to try

But left empty when broken wings never fly.
