Emptiness has ruled this mind
this emotion, it’s a different kind

I am alone, lonely and sad
trifecta that makes me mad

I hate walking on the streets alone,
when the streetlights are alive
I feel lonely as
my shadow needs yours

I hate sitting in a cafe alone
when my cup arrives
I feel sad as
my company needs yours

I hate thinking about you
because thinking is all I can do.
