Soulful Words From A Broken Spirit

Empty Shell

I drift away in thought yet all I can see is you,
Laughing within my arms,
Crying upon my shoulder as I hold you,
The memories of what we were

Yet can't enjoy the vision,
For it's tainted,
By the venom that you injected,
The knife that lays dormant in my back,

I think of you and I feel sorrow,
My blood begins to seethe,
I never saw the blood on the wall,
The blueprint of your manipulation,

Blinded by the smokescreen of your lies,
You sold me a fortune,
Promised me riches,
But in the end your treasure was bogus,

All I wanted was your heart,
But you took mine out my chest,
Scarred me for life,
I'm now bitter,

My garden's withered,
Roses, tulips, all life is dead,
And I'm a prisoner in my head,
Reminiscing of how unfortunate I was

How could I fall for the trap,
Silly me for believing in a dream,
Now mine are haunted,
By what should've been

Or could've been,
Yet that happiness is temporary,
I saw it too late and paid the price,
Now I'm a hollow shell of emptiness due to your treachery.
