Empty, Drained, But Filled With Pain

I'm still filled with pain, one that empties me.
It takes my energy and makes me feel lonely, helpless, hopeless.

My pain teases me, letting me feel strong, then tearing me down.
There's nothing I can do but cry.

Longing for the one I love, but getting nothing but sorrow.
Missing her with all my heart, even though it's been broken so many times.

Come back. I can't stand living without you.
There are times-like now- when I feel like I'm an empty shell.

The pain of losing you always lingers.
It stays with the knowledge that you may never come back home.

I don't know how she feels, but I can't forget my sister.
I'd give up more than you know to have you back.

Tears stream down my face, I'm more vulnerable than you'll ever know.
I don't want to face my future without you in it.

If only you heard my silent screams of pain.
If only you felt the agony in my heart.

Just return. I'd welcome you with more than open arms.
I miss you more than words can tell, and it's draining me.

Pain is heavy, pained love is even more so.
A shattered heart hurts,
But who's going to pick up the pieces?
