Something I Left Behind

Don't look inside

I'm far too empty

To reciprocate your dream

And still you believe

That I was ever capable of

Overcoming these obstacles but

My promise was tarnished long ago

There's nothing now

The years still feel the same

But nothing seems to work now

I tried so hard to feel

I'd make it through but somehow

I find myself in the same position

Fighting against my own ambition

I'll never find

The something I left behind

Don't look inside

I'm far too broken

To accommodate your need

And still you believe

What was never attainable and

What was never possible for

My promise was tarnished long ago

There's nothing now.
