One sunny afternoon in May, I found a void inside of me
A gaping hole so big
Even the wind blew up, around and all the way through me
With a whooshing sound, that was my emptiness crying
When on earth did this hole appear?
It crept in silent like a shadow, but I can see it now, crystal clear
A hole of my absence
My lost time, my love, my heart
My love, my heart
These parts of me are missing now, they've flown away with wings
Where in the world did they go? Free and whooshing in the wind
The hole of my absence grew wider
Like a balloon sucking in air
The void is swallowing me whole, it won't stop, it raves in my despair
The hollow opened up and the wind blew through it
With a whooshing sound, my emptiness was crying
I'm an empty shell wandering aimlessly
The pain of absence and loss is all that I carry
What I left behind when I flew away
A basket in the sky with no birds to play
Left behind by a flapping bird
A hole in the sky with no birds flapping
Whooshing wind emptiness crying
