Empty
Five letters
Two syllables
What does it actually mean?
No feelings
No hope
I feel empty tonight

I see no light
At the end of the road
I'm stuck here until I die
I've made plans
But I'm not leaving
Any time soon

I chuckle now
With bitterness and irony
At how hopeful and young I was
Did I really think
That I could leave?
