An Empty Shell
I am walking.
Walking along a dark path,
Searching,
Where could you be?
Walking...
Concentrating on my footsteps,
1 step, 2, 3...
Fighting against the wind.
Walking...
My eyes wince at the light ahead,
A figure appears,
I feel a rush of relief.
I am running...
Calling your name,
But no sound comes from me,
I'm running in place.
You are fading...
I cry for you to stay,
Pushing my legs with all my might,
But im not moving.
You slowley dissapear,
I am screaming,
"Wait!"
You are gone.
I am falling,
You left me broken,
Taking my shattered pieces with you,
My name is all thats left behind.
Along with my empty shell
