There is nothing left of me now
no ledge worth to hang onto
Nothing to fill my veins
Nothing to fill my lungs
Now that this pain has left me
All that remains is sorrow
the pain that used to latch on to me
Their was never any ignoring it
the pain that crept its way into my heart
the pain that filled my veins and pumped itself through
It made me feel whole and not so hollow
and now that piercing sting is gone
that pain that I craved for so long
Like a needle right through me
nothing beneath me now to break this fall
The nails that I walked on that kept me just above the burning coal are gone
My body has grown numb, worse yet my soul
In knowing that this pain is gone
