My Empty Heart by tingtamtam © 2010

Empty swings haunt empty hearts

An empty room, an empty home

Me without you feels like nothing's gone right

I don't know what to do. I feel so alone.

Everything reminds me of you

Your smile lit up, your smile warmed up

The same streets, the same sounds

But without you here, it comes out wrong.

The sarcasm, the cynical look

It was truly unique to you alone

But when I'm not beside you

It's not the same. It's incomplete. Without you there's no me

When will I realise that it's all just a dream

Looking out the window, waiting for an empty stream

It's time to move on, it's time to say goodbye

Sleepwalk to the end of the world; there'll be no more empty sighs

Quite different from my usual style I think, not many of the lines/verses rhyme and the rhythm isn't amazing but I like it still. The last verse was kind of inspired by Tangled/Rapunzel (depends which country you're from) the movie. Yeah I'm probably a little too old for Disney movies but what can I say? I'm a kid at heart :)
