feel like my heart is being stabbed a million times once again
i'm alone
with empty tears
falling down
hollow
and if you get too close
so will i
and the empty
comes back with echos
bouncing off my soul
my emptiness begging for an embrace
that never lasts
because the hopeful have no need for me
they're confident in their step
content in their glee
full of their joy
jumping through puddles of rain
that happen to be made by my tears
dried up by the sun
that contains nothing
but everything i wish i could be
something that shines
that is seen by everybody
but far out of reach
but the sun doesn't produce rain
and that's all i seem to do
how long can my throat choke on things i'm dying to say
but i won't from fear of bruising others
and they won't think twice before hurting me
but it's all good right?
bruises fade?
bruises go away..
