empty

empty
searching for the thing
i know i can never have
wanting you back in my arms
missing you in every way
but still, i won't leave him
he blocks my path to you
but so does everyone else
why can't you see?
you and i are meant to be
so help me clear this path
let me back into your heart
and show me all your pain
i can try, at least
to make you feel better
this shouldn't have happened anyway
but you think the one you want
the one you NEED
is her, not me.
why can't you see?
why don't you hear my screams?
then again, why would you?
i hide them, stifle the sound
i refuse to let him down
this pride is too much to swallow
but where is the shame
in going back to what i know is right?
