Empty World
I have been put down
In the harshest of ways
And I cannot frown
Because it is not you who deserves the blame.
They say I can find a better girl in a snap
and fill that empty gap
and although that may be true,
she will never be you.
And, you see,
it is just a pain that leaves me empty,
But my world does not end, as it still offers plenty.
And I can no longer wait for something that will never happen
as my love will begin to lose its passion.
And despite it being the only thing I want,
This love has become a concept that does nothing more than haunt.
So I carry on
And search for other joys in life instead
But I know I won’t find them until I’m dead.
Still, I go moping out my front door, dragging feet across the floor
looking for the girl that my heart adored.
After many hours, despite it being so pretty,
I found no love within the city.
Yet I continue to search the states and the nation
For my inclination to you will never yield an abdication.
And to purge myself of my sadness,
I went out to explore the planet.
But to my demise,
there's a bit of you in everything I see
From our endless sky, to the bottom of the sea
you are the most beautiful flower in Babylon’s Hanging Garden
As the sight of you makes me feel so heartened
you're the hardest mineral in the ground
and the most elegant gem ever found
Sailors search the seven seas for relics and treasures
Yet only find bits of mold
but I'm willing to go through any measures
to feel your heart of gold
and spacemen search for wonders up in the skies
But little do they know
That the most beautiful universe
Is only found in your ethereal eyes
But I have not forgotten,
You left me without a clue
Cementing the fact that I will never truly have you
And that’s when I knew
that despite how the world offers plenty
some of our hearts are just meant to stay empty
