Caves of Sorrow

In my dark deep caves of sorrow
 I have the walls painted with tears,
  Lonely I stand there with no hope
   Tormented with unwanted fears.

Restless regrets roam and reside 
 In my dark deep caves of sorrow,
  I exist as withered autumn
   There is no spring for tomorrow.

Roses, reminded me of you
 Now uprooted since you were gone,
  In my dark deep caves of sorrow
   My life is caged has not moved on.

With broken heart I feel disturbed
 Some peace I wish, I could borrow,
  Ashes of faith are now buried 
   In my dark deep caves of sorrow.
