Nothing Left

HOLES IN THE WALLS
WHARE MEMORIES ONCE HUNG
PLAIN AND BARE 
ITS ALL GONE
THIS EMPTY ROOM
FULL OF HURT
THIS IS MY HEART 
FOR WHAT ITS WORTH

SITTING HERE CRYING ALONE
THINKING OF ALL THAT I KNOW
SILENTLY SCREAMING
WITH NOTHING TO SHOW
EMOTIONAL ABUSE 
I CANT LET IT GO

KICKING AND SCREAMING
EVERYTHING IS CLOSING IN
MY EYES FULL OF TEARS
NOTHING TO WIPE THEM WITH
THEY DON’T DRY UP
AND THEY WONT GO AWAY
IM SO SCARED
THEY WILL ALWAYS REMAIN

MY FACE IS BLISTERED
WITH LINES OF RED 
FROM TRAILS OF SORROW
TO MANY THINGS LEFT UNSAID

THIS IS ME
NOTHING LEFT TO SHOW
IT CUT SO DEEP
I CANT LET IT GO

ITS CONSUMING ME
MY EVERY BONE
IM SO SCARED
OF BEING ALONE
