Empty Shell

My light has gone out
I have no passion left inside
My spirit has been broken
No soul just an empty shell

There is nothing left
to spark the flame
that once burned so bright
As bright as day inside me

Too many have walked on me
leaving me to think I'm to blame
It was because of me
my actions made them hurt me

When will I ever learn
Not to leave my heart so open
Not to invite the pain
They bring when they leave me

But still I am left
to pick up the pieces
But I am done with it
I'd rather be the empty shell.
