Empty Walls

I took the pictures down
and drew the vacant space in slow
I threw the cards out
and other memories I've stored
I washed the sheets ten times
But I still find your hair
and down the hallway
these empty walls stare at me bare

I watched our castle
as it crumbled into dust
I tried to hang on
But it all fell through my fingertips
I faced back and forth
Not knowing where to turn
I'm so unguarded
deserted, in disarray, I'm torn

I am hallowed out and bare
I am disintegrating here
I am wrapped in hearts decay
I am empty like the walls.

And once the storm passed, I begged for your return
I spoke in your tongue, and you said you needed time.
So here I sit now, starring at the wall
counting the hours, so I can hang our frames back up.

I am hallowed out and bare
I am disintegrating here
I am hallowed out and bare
I am disintegrating here
I am wrapped in hearts decay
I am empty like the walls.
