    Empty Eden
    Alone in the darkness, softly crying
    There is no hope, I'm slowly dying
    Alcohol fumes haze the air
    Like daddy said I'm going nowhere
    Through an empty life I struggle
    Love and money I try to juggle
    The depression returns, no need to fight
    I thought I'd finally stepped into the light
    Love for friends and family, hate for me
    I stand revealed for them to see
    No matter how hard I try feelings are not returned
    My life again lies blackened and burned
    A bottle of vodka, sleeping pills, dream away
    Finally at peace the Empty One greets the day
    While his Eden lies untouched

    Forget Daddy, your life is now about you and what you think. Get in there and find out what is wanting to come forth.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
