10:01 P.M.
I call on you my friend
I call you for many things
You�d stick by me till the end
Because you cherish the happiness I bring
I question your beliefs
When you say I�m so much to you
Inside I feel crushing grief
And sometimes it�s hard to let the sun shine in
I appear to have boundless faith
Though disbelieving all I can produce
You think my life is so safe
But you could have never handled the truth
It�s this gaping hole
That ties us so deep
You say I fill you full
And it�s that richness that makes me weep
I could never reciprocate your impractical dreams
Unable to escape my own sacred plight
I can�t shut out the hollow screams
That keep me from sleeping late at night
I appear to be the same
But I am chilled to the bone
You think that I am sane
But I am exceptionally alone
You blame your loneliness on luck
While mine is just a twist of fate
This emptiness truly sucks
But my awareness comes too little, too late
You question my attachments
I tell you I have none
You ask for a commitment
And I can only offer one
Put on a fa�ade of joy
A happy face for all to see
My heart has been destroyed
And it�s left an empty shell of me
