The Emptiness

I wish I knew the words to describe the feeling you get when you know you're losing the one you love,

I wish I knew how to stop that feeling, but now all I am is numb,

Numb to everything but the pain and fear that comes with that ache,

Do you remember the last time you felt happy?

I do.

It wasn't very long ago to be quite frank, it was only days,

Within days my mind went from the best it's ever been to the worst it's been in a very long time.

It simply takes much too little to uproot happiness,

Some fight their whole lives and never see it,

Others get it after a while but lose if after seconds,

It's a bit ridiculous actually. To fight so hard for something so easily lost.

Lost to the abyss which lies within your soul, the hungering for something better.

I'm losing myself here in this emptiness again,

Please help me or I might drown,

All the signs are there, my mind is taking control,

"I'm feeling fine really, I'm just overwhelmed."

I can't control that sound. Those fucking words escaping my lips like it's nothing, but it isn't nothing,

I'm dying and I don't know how to slow down.
