Empty
These cornered walls are closing in on me
I wander the halls between empty rooms and yesterdays
I scream, but nobody hears me.
Even the mirror seems empty these days
I search for a spark, a window, a light... anything
But darkness is all that surrounds me
In the fullest house, I am lonely
My heart sings a melody that only empty halls can echo
It’s only a distant memory
I grasp at the thought of something that used to be,
The song I search for evades me
Tears and rainfall are the only familiar sounds that remain
I hungrily take in all that is offered
Something about strangers now seem so familiar
I’m searching, but I don’t remember what I lost
I watch others dance and wonder if that’s the rhythm to my song?
I close my eyes and dream of sunshine
With tall grass and wind beneath my wings
But even in my dreams the darkness still lingers
Just around the corner, waiting to swallow me while
There are monsters in the closet after all
Where did everyone go?
Why am I alone?
HELLOOOOOOO is anybody home?
Why do the spaces inside of my chest feel hollow?
I’m searching for answers that may not exist
Should I give up hope?
... I’ll remember my song.
