Emptiness

I was staring at the empty white wall
Thinking of the emptiness of my life
And it was beginning to take its toll
And creating tense emotional strife

I was feeling a void inside my heart
Reminiscing about what’s in the past
And I was beginning to fall apart
While glimpsing the moment I saw you last

I was living with empty promises
Searching for the true purpose of my life
And I was beginning to see darkness
And staring at death himself with his scythe

Looking for the road towards happiness
But only you could fill the emptiness
