empty

that's just it

nothing ever is enough

for my heart that is petty

the dying embers in my eyes

I ask please put them where they belong

in the fire you started in my heart

I ask please put me where I belong

right next to you

I never got the invitation

I never saved what I earned

when I finally figured out your equation

all I did is watch it burn

as I lay in bed alone

it hurts to keep my eyes open

yet I can't fall asleep

because I crave the unknown
