                                  EMPTY




    An endless pit
with no bottom
and so I sit
from spring to autom

    Empty, alone
and so afraid
I'm all alone
and I am scared

    No one here
to hold me close
no one there
to love me most

    I'm half a person
without you
without reason
I once was two

    You have left
and I'm alone
with one last gift
from you to hold

    My emptyness
is all I have
all that is left
is a shell of a man
