empty shell

emptyness fills me

is that even a possibility

do you understand what i am trying to convey to you

the message that i am alone in this new world

i am alone for what feels like forever

i am alone in what feels like wanting to cry

i am alone in what feels like wanting to tie one last knot

i am alone in the feeling of emptyness

my feelings may be fiction but the truth is that

the truth is that emptyness fills me

and i know its not possible

i am not a shell

i am not filled by nothing because that cant be

even air is made up of something

am i made up of somethings?

i am the death of a family member

i am the shot of heroin running through thier veins right before thier last breath

i am the lonley girl trapped by the walls of distance and the chains of silence

i am nothing

i am an empty shell

emptyness fills me
