Empty

Empty, and breathless no one cares
as bad as it seems I hope i disappear

My  thought and my dreams
is a complete   waste of time.

I gave all my heart and soul 
when I made you mine


But you distance yourself away
every time I need you close

I guess you just don't care
about  the ones that love you most.

Well I'm  done trying to
make you see me through

This once  beautiful person you saw
is  now broken in two

You stopped noticing me 
you stopped seeing
I'm done  begging
I'm done pleading

You can have  your  "space"
if  that's all you want
But I'm not waiting
I don't play dumb.
