Never did I hate myself
The way that I hated you
Never again will I look to love
It's done, it's over, it's through
You left me so stripped
Bare and to the bone
No emotions left inside
And a heart that's turned to stone
Nothing more than hollow
A fragile empty husk
Dark days are closing
As I stand in the graying dusk
Empty of all my feelings
With empty and tired hands
Tired of untangling
All these frayed and twisted strands
Once our stage was set
With bulbs that burned so bright
Now the curtains have closed
There's an ever fading light
How can you walk away
Before the play is through
How can you leave me here
So bewildered, lost and confused
I walk on empty and alone
Into the darkened night
Knowing that even empty
Someday I will be alright
