Empty Battery

For now, let me sit here in my misery
Let me take the time to force myself to see
All the good to come of this
Gaining back the energy that I've missed
I had to say it, I had to know
(Though there are parts of me I'd rather not show)
I'm empty - I'll be empty for a while
For some time, I'll be faking a smile
I'll miss the dreams that made me happy
Even if they were gross and sappy
My pillow case, for now, will keep getting wetter
But eventually, I swear, I'll get better
