Emptiness
Location
A shadow of what once was
A ghost of what will never be
I sit alone at the dining room table
Emptiness is all I see.
Is it possible to sit here
And wither away like the rose
That's sitting in a glass on the stone counter
Long since surrendered to its foes?
The tears are no longer running
All that's left is cold apathy
My head hurts now as badly as my heart aches
But I want not the world's sympathy.
Trails of black still line my face
Dark circles still ring my eyes
Like scars on some pale, pathetic soldier
The anger now has its prize.
The silence simply laughs in my face
Suffocating, angry and grey
Telling me now that I'm all on my own
Everything to make my nerves fray.
I'm a shadow of what once was,
I'm a ghost of what will never be
Sitting alone at the dining room table,
Emptiness is all I see.
