Empty

And here I am
In such a strange
Yet
Familiar place,
Out of breath;
A tearful disgrace

And tell me why I feel so empty
Find me a reason to feel whole
Tell me it will all be okay
Please,
Lie if you have to

I'm trying to fill a void
But
It only gets deeper
Where do I turn to?
To where shall I run?

And if anyone loved me,
Oh! I wish they would say it
If anyone knew me,
I just want to be held

I'm falling apart
And
Breaking down;
I just need someone to hold me together

Vanity in such emptiness,
But
Why can't I fill it?

Such simple scars
soothed only by stitches

And hold me closer
Press me tighter
Touch my face
Keep a hand in my hair
I need some kind of love
But
From where?
Oh, where?
