Empty Bottle
A substance once filled me that has long since gone
It gave me a purpose and now I have none

and wonder why I paid such a high cost
You see, I've begged and asked plenty of no person seen

How much longer does the dreariness last?
For I am bored and free floating
My purpose at end
I must ask this to no one in particular,
Please fill me again.
