empty

empty
hollow
look at me
through and through
self denial
unrewarded
empty words
hollow gestures
look at me fighting the void
through and through mean streets
self denial bares my throat
unrewarded passionless wound
empty
hollow
look at me
through and through
self denial
unrewarded
running on empty
distended arteries hollow
strangers look at me
understanding through and through
my journey in self denial
of wasted efforts gone unrewarded
empty
hollow
look at me
through and through
self denial
unrewarded
arms full with empty gestures
tongues rich with hollow words
stealing a look at me on mean streets
fighting phantoms through and through the void
wounded in self denial without passion
bloodless victory unrewarded bared and chained
empty
hollow
look at me
through and through
self denial
unrewarded
