Empty boys and empty girls
hallow
shallow
bodies everywhere walk within herds
Please little boy, please little girl
take my cup of heart and fill your own
I know you are sealed tight but now you can open up
I'll help you
I'll
no
wait
please
don't pour it out that's mine
I watch through glass eyes as all I know
shattered
splattered
gets soaked up by the dust and dirt
stepped on

laughter

someone help
I'm drying up
only my eyes retain
leak
what's lost and


where did everybody go?


I'm sorry little boy
little girl
I'm
Never mind please go away
I know I'm just your emptied prey

&quot;All around me there are people telling me who I should be. I hate to disappoint you but these are the colours that I see. If there&#039;s just as many colours, as there are human beings, maybe I&#039;m just colour-blind and missing out on everything!&quot; -Nano
