Empty

Broken, scared and left alone,
The chaos that still resides
Chills me to the bone.

My soul is empty
As my heart cries 
You left so soon
Without even a goodbye.

Empty and hollow,
Two things you should never feel.
Yet here I stand to attest
These feelings are all too real.

Time is said to heal.
But time is not on my side
For with each passing year
Another part of me dies.

So until I see you again
And can feel your loving embrace
I will remain an empty shell
Wearing this mask of a smile to hide
The tears I cannot erase.
