Empty Shell

You love a mask,
a lie.
What do you really know about me?
Nothing.
For there is nothing,
just an empty shell
with a pretty face,
and a heart so lost
it doesn't even know its own beat.
You chase after me,
and you take the pain
of the journey to my love.
What will you do
when all you find is a desert?
I am a dried up sea,
a broken toy,
an emotionless being,
a nothing.
A smile glued upon my face
with an eternal frown behind it.
I am a fake,
a lie,
an empty shell
with nothing inside.
An oyster with no pearl,
a body with no soul.
Turn back now.
Save yourself from the pain.
The sharp, jagged edges of my heart
will rip you to pieces.
I am not lovable,
I cannot be loved.
I am a nothing,
just a broken shell
with echoes of forgotten laughter.
Do not chase after me,
I am just a ghost with a smile
that means nothing;
empty, cold, fake,
nothing.
I am an empty shell
with a pretty face,
but that's all I am,
that's all I'll ever be.
