Love: Numbing Memories

Love is a wonderful feeling
True love
Once you feel it
It cannot be replaced

I felt it once
It filled my empty existence
My once grey world had color
I finally had what I'd spent my life looking for

To fill the empty hole in my chest
The painful emptiness I'd spent my life with
I never understood what was missing
All my efforts to fill it were vain, for everything I put in there disappeared

I tried being happy
But happiness never lasts
I tried being sad
But happiness always shoves it's way in

I tried sports
But I was never good enough
I filled my head with music
But the notes died not too long after

I filled my life with friends
But they never stuck around
No matter what I did
That hole was always there

Then love found me
True love
My mission was complete
Until it was gone

Love's empty corpse fills me now
It's left me dead inside
For love cannot compare
And I'm numb to everything else
