Fill Up the Void

Skin on skin, Tell me you love me. You don't have to mean it I just need to hear it now. Naked and lying, At least I know your trying. I know it can't be easy, easy even though I am. I am trying, To put forth some emotion though your feigning your devotion you don't even know my name. I've slipped into, Something sort of numbing even though I may be coming I can't even fake a sigh. Please just stay, Please pretend to listen. These lips I have I swear are made for so much more than kissing. I can feel, My body growing colder You wink back over your shoulder And I'm as empty as can be.
