Empty
Everything began so fast,
All I felt was a sudden collapse,
A deteriorated mood, a massive elapse.
Piece by piece it fell apart,
Remembering still it's just the start,
Then suddenly I lose all my heart.
My hunger has left me but it's still there,
The hunger for pain, and to make it all fair,
To whom I hurt, I don't even care.
I just want it back, the life I owned,
Make these demons leave me alone,
I'll take it back and set my tone.
For now no sleep is my sentence,
Revenge for trauma is my penance,
Emptiness becomes omnipresence.
