An Empty Soul, A Stolen Heart

When will people realize

That I have nothing left anymore

That they have finished taking all of my battered soul a long time ago

And left me with the empty husk

When will people realize that

The smiles and laughs I offer them

Are as empty as I am

Because I'd rather they have empty somethings than nothing, at all

When will people realize that it is easier for me to offer up that emptiness,

than it is for them to fill me up again

For them to make me feel good,
And fill me with love, and mirth,
And gold

Only to take it away again Only to lash out at me and rip my beating heart out of my empty soul

No

It is easier to offer them emptiness than for them to realize that I have nothing left
Because I am tired of having my scarred heart torn out

By the ones that were supposed to protect it
