Hollow

I would be lost drifting along

Floating up high time after time

And there you'd be, shining brightly

Your smiling face to guide my way

Bloody and bruised brought to my knees

When beaten down when broken up

You would appear reach out to me

Heal every wound and make me whole

Was it all a dream? Will I never know?

Foolish and blind to everything

Had I realized, had I thought it through

Would you be here in my embrace?

Shine bright once more

Guide me to you

Smile bright

Once more

This time

I will never let you go

With your every smile hiding something more

Dark mysteries lurking beneath

But I was consumed with this emptiness

This selfishness, this void to fill

Hear me once more

Show me your smile

This time, for sure

I'll see the truth hidden inside your tears

But I, I know

That you're long gone

But I, I will

Go on, howling and hollow

To never know
