Empty Handed

My heart is an empty vessel

Drifting out to sea.

I try my best to be

What you want me to be.

You can try and help me

You could drown me gently.

You could tell me all of the things that

I want you to say

And you

You could walk away

Empty handed.

You

You could walk away

Empty handed.

I hear running water

Hear you knocking on the door.

I spent an hour or more

Just lying on the bathroom floor.

You can try and help me

You could drown me gently.

You could tell me all of the things that

I want you to say

And you

You could walk away

Empty handed.

You

You could walk away

Empty handed.

The wave that came has broken

And the void has swallowed me.

A door before me stands ajar

I thought I'd run but I'm not free.

You can try and help me

You could drown me gently.

You could tell me all of the things that

I want you to say

And you

You could walk away

Empty handed.

You

You could walk away

Empty handed.

And you

You could walk away

Empty handed.

You

You could walk away

Empty handed.
