Empty Darkness

I feel the emptiness
I hear the hollowness
I see the darkness
And I can touch the nothingness
Taste the bitterness

Yet I want this
Not understanding why
But I know
This is home to me
This is where I paint a bloody cross above my door
And lay my welcome mat down

I live in this tragedy
You call a life
And I thrive in this purity
You call childish
Relish the flavor of the darkness
You call evilness

So empty, so scarred
And yet, here I stand
Never moving, never stirring
As you hold my hand

And this is where a car drives by and a random guy screams through an open window "Three V-Dubs for under seventeen thousand-WOO-HOO! I love that commercial.
