Empty Inside
It’s all empty inside,
Nothing is real now
The smile, I wear
The words, I speak
The happiness, I pretend
The comfort, I wish
It’s all empty inside
The reality is
The tears, I hide
The sorrow, I conceal
The pain, I bury
The sufferings, I lock up
I miss you, and it kills me
I need you, but I’m bound with chains
I love you, but I can’t do it on my own
Nobody knows, not even you
That I’m in my room all alone,
Crying all day and night.
Expecting things could get better,
I’m trying to be stronger,
But, with each attempt I get weaker.
