Empty

You asked me what was wrong,
And I replied, “Nothing.”
I wanted you to notice the emptiness in my eyes,
Without me crying for the help that I was too proud and ashamed to accept.
I wanted you to see that the life inside was gone,
And I've been empty for a while with no point of return.

I needed you to help bring it back,
But you never did.
You left me by myself in my time of need, just like everyone else.
No one truly cared enough to see,
I've been empty for a while with no point of return.

My pride and shame have got the better of me.
My life and soul feel more desolate when I try.
I needed someone, needed you, to help me find my soul,
My hope, the light that I miss,
But I'm still as empty as ever,
And I've been empty for a while with no point of return.
