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
