Empty (Unexplained Feelings)

christine yi
Like a chandelier never lit

Like an empty bottle

Stories never once read

Dusty paintings never admired

I cannot find my purpose

Lost grips of reigns i've never posessed

As if i've done nothing to lose my breath

But i'm begging for a rest.

Like songs never listened to

Shoes that have never been talked in

Like a boatless harbor

Umbrellas in sunny weather

I don't know why I feel so hollow

The fruit of life i've never tasted

Overwhelming with black sorrow

But no pulled trigger to be blamed

There's no such thing as being able to melt

Or miss the feelings you have never felt

Can't push away if its not in arms length

Can't regret a choice you've ignored to take

Can't shatter glass if it's not in your hand

Can't break a heart you've never had

But I continue to feel that way

Clouds in my mind

Nothing in the past but I look behind

So tell me, how did I stab without a dart

Why am I searching if I've never had it from the start

Why am I distancing from nothing

Why do I miss what I've never been touching

Why do I smile as just an act

Laugh when my insides aren't intact

Walk around with no place to go

Try to seem fine when I feel so low

Because I'm empty.
