Empty

I've become nothing but a skeleton of untapped potential
I had the world at my fingertips
Yet I did everything I swore I would never do
Chasing temporary highs in the arms of selfish lovers
And various things to numb the pain
Feeling empty is an all too familiar feeling
Thoughts of suicide circle my body like vultures
Beady eyes watching a heart already gone
To pick it from my rib cage
I drove away everyone
I'm left with nothing but this bottle
And a few distant connections
To drown the screams inside my head
