Empty

Sprawled out on the floor

You closed the last door

And shut out all the light.

Leave me alone with my memories -

They're all that's left of me.

You took my heart and ripped it out -

No! I gave it to you freely!

I was so naive

But now I've learned.

Too late.

Something lost inside of me -

I can't find it.

I've lost myself.

Thanks to you I'm an empty shell -

A shadow on the wall.

I am scarred.

I am broken.

I am not a whole.
