i know how you're hurting
i know you feel like
you lost everything
i know you feel
so empty
like nothing else matters
but you cannot heal
by numbing your pain
with alcohol and lines
every night,
you will only postpone
facing reality
for a little while longer.
drugs can not
heal you.
you need to face
the emptiness
to realize that
you were never
empty
at all.
because she
did not
complete you.
–i'm sorry losing her made you lose yourself again.
