The Weight of Empty

That sanguine little girl so full of longing Gave up her ghost inside and left it homeless, wandering Sleepless I lay back and wonder why When you enter mind I want to cry I’ve forgotten what it feels like to be truly happy But I know I’d find it If I someday found you I wouldn’t trade this torture for all the peace in the world I wouldn’t erase your face from my mind for a universe I won’t shut out your beautiful voice to save my life I will stop at nothing to make you all mine The weight of empty Crushing load of inner vacancy I’ve forgotten what it felt like when my soul wasn’t heavy But I know that it once again could fly If I could take you with me I wouldn’t trade these tears for all the bliss on this barren earth There’s nothing more beautiful to me than you, when you smile I couldn’t forget you if that were my desire And only death will keep me from my place at your side sorrylittlesharky.com
