Empty.

There have been few times in life,

where my tank of emotions ran empty.

When I couldn’t feel my heart beat,

and my mind was without thought.

My body feels tired,

while my chest is tight and it’s hard to breathe.

I’ve invested everything I have.

My heart, my soul, my body,

all into you.

And all I see silence.

My stomach churns and my shoulders grow heavy,

while my intestines cave in.

Being denied once again.

My smiles fade to nothing and my scars seem to swell.

When will I learn?

I always give everything,

and get nothing in return.
