Empty

Broken, scared and left alone, The chaos that still resides Chills me to the bone. My soul is empty As my heart cries You left so soon Without even a goodbye. Empty and hollow, Two things you should never feel. Yet here I stand to attest These feelings are all too real. Time is said to heal. But time is not on my side For with each passing year Another part of me dies. So until I see you again And can feel your loving embrace I will remain an empty shell Wearing this mask of a smile to hide The tears I cannot erase.
