Screaming off the Cliff

The Cure for Emptiness

You're not even hungry.

But, by God, are you sad.

And you want to fill up the emptiness

with whatever's at hand.

And you're so fucking useless.

You're just simply pathetic.

So you eat, and you eat,

until you feel sick.

And then you lay back on your bed,

and you try not to vomit.

Even though that food in your gut

Is forcing its way up your throat.

And you still feel so empty.

But your body is numb.

And you're paralysed by stupidity,

at what you've fucking done.

You weren't even hungry.

And, by God, you're still sad.

You tried to fill up that emptiness

with whatever's at hand.

But darling, I've got you.

It's okay, now, I'm here.

You're not so empty, now,

That your dearest is near.

A/N don't try and fill up your emptiness with food. It doesn't work, sweethearts.
