I feel empty
Desolate like the bleak tundra, my heart beat grows slower
The bar that I had set for myself constantly drops lower.

Ecstasy is a word which I'd know in some pastlife
They said my time would come, but time was never ripe.

The one I loved the most doesn't understand me,
He is busy with his gaming console as I stand here and bleed.

His love was what had resurrected me in the first place,
Now it seems without it I'll drop out of this race.

I have no-one to tell how I feel because I don't want to show it,
Even when a close one inquired I smiled, never told him I'd fell into a pit.

Being strong is my thing, weakness is a no go
Love and life have become mundane so-so's.

But even amidst all this I keep running,
Even though the clouds rumble and the rain keeps pouring.

I don't seek to be successful, I seek to be loved and prioritized,
But in the end we need to love ourselves, because if not it always ends in our heart's demise.
