My Emptiness
All who feed my emptiness will fall as I pass..
Everything I wanted was right there feeding my soul. All I could feel was empty and cold.
I never cared if my needs would hurt you.
You filled me with all I asked for and I still took more.
I only needed you for me.
I took your body and soul and left you with an empty hole.
I never thought of your needs.
I see you now broken and empty, waiting on me.
Your arms begging for the love I took from you
I could never fill you, I can never share.
I can not give you what is not mine.
Close your eyes and I will gone.
All of this is just a dream, a ghost of the former me.
I'm empty and cold, the only thing I know
I never think I just take .
Everything I've ever wanted has been there all along.
All I could do was take and be gone.
