This Empty Room.

I regret this empty room.
No music in the air without you here.
Someone said I could live without you.
Someone lied.
Someone said you're in a better place.
Someone lied.
Six feet under, my happiness lies as well.
I'm getting my shovel,
I'm digging down deep...
Shov'ling my way down,
so, with you, I can sleep.
I'm saying I need to be with you.
And with you, I will lie.

Even emptier this room will be.

      Haha, thank you!!!
      I'm pretty proud of this,
      cause I wrote it based on a prompt,
      and usually I write only when inspiration comes up
      and punches me in the face.
