Emptiness

Yesterday’s sorrow adds up

And spills into tomorrow

The day is shrinking

And I’m still thinking

That nothing

Is ever good enough

 

So I look at the birds

All the pretty birds

Stretched so thin

Take my mind off

This emptiness

 

My insides are sad and lonely

And they can not be filled

My head is aching, my bones are shaking

And my skin is crawling with the chills

 

I pour myself another drink

And eat off an empty plate

My will is dying, my mind is lying

I didn’t lose any weight

 

So I look at the birds

All the pretty birds

Stretched so thin

Take my mind off

This emptiness
