Empty Being

With iced over eyes The inglorious demise Left me in pieces I fall apart again You can pick me up Little by little But I'll never be complete I've been torn Just ashes or crumbs Of a person I used to be Joyous and carefree I am no longer me Ripped to shreds by this life we lead The only thing that satisfies Is the false reality brought by mead The false pretense I know Has corrupted me I am without my senses And I can no longer see Will someone help me stand? This is never what I had planned My strength is leaving my soul And this loneliness is taking it's toll
