Empty (2014)

by Taylor M   Oct 31, 2014


I can't sleep
I've been forcing myself to eat
This ceiling is changing colors
I've been staring at it all night
My eyes won't stay shut
I'm laying here, trembling
All I want to do is die
I don't want to live like this
I can't be on the edge anymore
My chest has a hole where my heart used to be
I don't know what you did with it
All I can feel is pain in my bones
I'm achy and falling apart
Nausea has become a casual symptom
I've been saying your name in the middle of the night
Woken myself up so many times
I'm crying out to you
This is a nightmare
All I want is you
All I need is you
I'm wearing down to brittle bone
I feel disgusted when I look in the mirror
You used to be there staring back at me
Where did you go?
God, please come back
Come back to me
I don't want to feel empty anymore
I need you here with me
Forever and always, like we promised
I can't stop crying
Please come back
