Empty Notes

Sitting here playing these empty notes Strumming out a sad melody as the time passes by The loneliness is building by the minute, by the hour Waiting for the time when she’s back by my side Sitting here playing these empty notes Storm clouds gathering right outside the window Filled with these notes but as hollow as my heart Ready to explode, but when I’ll never know Sitting here playing these empty notes Singing a quiet song and tapping my feet Missing her more than a flower misses the sun Nothing but the night and a steady heartbeat Sitting here listening to those empty notes As the clouds rupture and the water begins to fall Tried to hold them back but it was too overwhelming The tears ended up pouring after all
