I think you should know better

Than to say such things to me

Don't you know?

The vastness within my soul is so hollow

If I were to let you in

It's so empty all you would hear is your echo

What if I let you in

And all that will echo then is the sound of your voice saying:

"I'm not going anywhere."

What will I do when you're gone?

When you have exited my dark void

and the only thing left to echo

Will be the sound of my tears as they hit the ground?

What will I do then?

I think you should know better

Than to say such things to me

I might believe you

    The words about the hollow soul and fear of being left alone really hit home. I've felt that emptiness before.
