Empty



If I wrote you a long letter about how I feel today
I'm sure that wouldn't change a thing because you wouldn't stay..

I miss the passing hours that added up our time
24 was never long enough when I could call you mine..

I lived a life of fantasy when I could hold you close
To feel the warmth of your embrace is what I miss the most

Left without a option to feel you close to me
this pain I feel inside my heart just won't let me be

Expressing raw emotion where judgment does not live
I began to feel the burdens escaping through my skin

I wrote a chapter in my heart and sealed it with a kiss
These tear stained pillow cases are what I will not miss..
