Empty

Emptiness, A place where my misery hides. A dark hole that can't be filled I pour the poison into the veins of this anger but find no answers there Time melts into a blur of scattered thoughts and I crave another dose to numb the pain that never fades Staring into empty, tired eyes in the mirror I find my foe How did I become this thing I so despise? Could a prayer have saved my injured soul? While my selfish heart became so cold? The devil stared at me from the bottom of this bottled hell he called to me so sweetly I fall into my dark abyss and lose myself completely.

James, this is awesome, I've forgotten what it is to be empty. Linda

I used to struggle with addiction, and have since beaten it, but it is important to me to remember.
