What do you want from me?
I have nothing left.
I am merely a shell of my former self.
You have my mind, my heart, my soul
My heart is beating, but i feel nothing
My mind is speeding but i think nothing
My soul is searching but i find nothing
My hands glide across the page but i write nothing
An empty shell.
I have nothing left
