An Empty Shell

It's hard for me to live,

I can't hold on any longer.

I feel your presence,

It's getting stronger.

Each step I take,

It's getting harder.

No matter how much I move,

I don't go any farther.

I can't escape you,

Nor can I abandon myself.

Why won't anyone help me,

Try and escape this hell.

My soul has left,

So I'm stuck with a shell.

Will I ever be free, I ask,

Because there's no way to tell.
