Emptiness

Emptiness. A vast expanse of waste yet all enclosed, The only light a thornless rose, Will my heart withstand the test? The stars once shone but now are gone, Love with its once auspicious grace, Fruitless and sad it lingers on, Yearns for a now departed face... Hope now dead, And all around, want fights light 'till death is found, And numbéd sound from in the ground, Kills the sound of life from overhead. That star is gone, by me loved long, Within another sphere of space, Dies the strength of Love's lovely song, But cannot leave without a trace...
