Emptiness

Location

You were my supportt system behind everything I did, In your shadow of safety is where I hid. 

Every step you amde, I made with you, there isn't anything for me you wouldn't do. 

You were my father one way or another, You took me in and there I gained  a mother. 

Im trying to figure out this emptiness inside of me. My heart is suffering from the love it can no longer see. 

Im sorry for the pain I put you through, this time my apology is sincere and true. 

Im not who I used to be, on that, with you I can agree. 

I saw that look in you eyes, when you saw right through my lies.

Im trying to figure out this emptiness inside of me. My heart is suffering from the love it can no longer see.  

Since I've been down here, Ive done nothing but remember how you were always near. 

As these tears fall down my cheek, right now, Your love is all I seek. 

& the constant question of how? 

How could I hurt the one who was always offering me a hand? 

How could I hurt the only one I knew as a real man?

Im trying to figure out this emptiness inside of me. Im suffering from the love my heart can no longer see. 

All you wanted to do was help me and guide me, For when the time came my future you could see. 

Pa, Im sorry.

Im trying to figure out this emptiness inside of me. The truth of this emptiness is with you, where I need to be. 

I need to be home, 

Because right now Im all by myself, surrounded by people who are only focused on self. 

Im scared of being alone , please let me come home. 

All of this is leading to emptiness, 

Emptiness I cna no longer suppress.
