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
