That face

You see that face
Staring right at you

You wonder who she is
You wonder why she is who she is
You wonder how she became who she is

You lean closer
As close as close can be

And you find nothing
Nothing as what nothing really is

You wonder why
Why this happened so
You ask her why
Why this happened so

You wonder how
How this happened so
You ask her how
How this happened so

You get no answer
And you realize
She is empty as empty as can be

Help me she says
Help me she pleas

But you say I see nothing
There is nothing I can see
There is nothing
Nothing I can do

She cries
She yells
She screams

You say stop
You say no
You say goodbye

I cannot help
For I am nothing too
