Empty Arms

for some friends

Sitting here weeping alone in the dark;
Once more my heart’s filled with pain.
Silence is shouting; you choose not to hear.
I’m rejected again and again.

This impassible chasm
Keeps us apart;
Once again you’ve chosen to hide

And so I wait for you with empty arms.
Oh what can I say…alone every day?
You hear me call to you with empty arms
What was I thinking of? Will I ever know love?
Empty arms

You chose to leave me; I’m all by myself,
Doubt and fear is all that you’ve ever known
Needing your acceptance; I’m longing for love;
You can't bring yourself to call me your own.

Abandoned; disillusioned
Losing hope day by day
Discouraged, what more can I say?

But I'm here once again with empty arms.
Fine’ly facing what’s true, there was never me and you
I’m left alone again with empty arms
You have broken my heart; and we’re oceans apart
Empty Arms.
