With each step you hear it in your mind
The emptiness
The lights are on
No one is there
No one cares
The emptiness echo’s inside you
Eating away at you
Until all that is left is the wanting
Weighing down your heart
Filling your mind
With the longing
With the hoping
The word alone
Is eating away at you
Until your fevered mind shouts stop
You keep walking
You keep hearing the echoes
Of the loneliness
The wanting
And hoping
