Empty

Nothing is what I feel 
Empty was my world 
I painted a picture, but it was blank 
Blank imaginations, blank feelings
Dark and wild place I was in
No one, nothing nobody ever heard me
Skies were so near, could count the stars 
The moon tried to smile but blood covered it
Anger creped in, frustrations and greed
Tried ease the pain but I eased my self
Empty and Emptier I felt 
Bins couldn't be Emptier 
Gongs couldn't cockles than I was
Evil brought the sunshine but felt NOTHING
