Empty Seat

By Liath

Empty Seat

What is with you
Do you try to make me feel like this?
It's like you haven't got a clue
This is as unpleasant as the Devil's briss

You're nothing to me
Nothing
Nothing to me
At all

All you are
In my mind
Is a son of a bitch
And an
Empty Seat
In my heart

Why do you think
That I'm a liar?
In your conscience, is there a chink?
Or maybe up your ass, a briar?

I don't want apologies
I don't want repentance
I just want acceptance
Yea, that's what I'm talking about

Because, we were meant to get along

But

The thing is...


All you are
In my mind
A terrible person
And an
Empty Seat
In my heart
