all that i know

all that i know
is that you're fine without me
the spark in your eyes
is hollow and empty

so go on,
fill your soul
with dark things
and laughter.

fill out that paper work
for becoming the empty
the doctors will encourage,
say that it's healthy.

& as you fade into the crowd
please remember me
us
we

if it hurts, let it
can't take it?
then fake it.

force a smile when you finally
read the fine print.
& don't forget to blame me
for the things i can't change.

  1. This is so good syd. I can't find a perfect way to speak on this speaks to me, but it shows experience, and I really like how it unspokenly describes how we feel after someone makes a decision that leaves us behind, at least that is what it means to me.

  2. Thanks, Chuck. I've been trying to write something like this for a long time, and I am still a little unsatisfied with it. But those were the emotions I was trying to convey. Listen to this song, I feel as though it describes the feelings you have. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evGD38lraWM
