Empty Feeling Poem by Penni Currie

Tears
red hot on my cheeks
the pain that never subsides
builds up and finally peaks
like the ebb and flow of the tide.
My head is so sore from crying
I feel so empty inside
Sometimes I feel like dying
if only there was someone
in whom I could confide.
I want to leave, I want to stay
I feel so confused.
I want you to go away
I don't want you to feel
you're being used.
I need someone to comfort me.
Someone who'll stay a while
someone who might make me see
someone to make me smile.
Why do I get like this
It's silly I know
cuddle me again please
you know I love you so
