Empty

its empty
its cold
its scary
its lonely

its want but can't have
its have but don't need
its need but can't get
it's needing and having and wanting

its 4:15 in the morning
its 3 feet from the bus driving away
its walking in the snow barefoot
its always wearing the same clothes

its a long cold shower when the faucet says hot
its those little black bugs with a red stripe on their backs
its plain cheerios without milk
its salsa on the white rug

its buying when you can't afford to
its a hospital waiting room when you hurt
its that song you can't forget
its that dream you can't remember
