Desolation
My days seem lost forever
And my nights last for eternity
I’m abandoned in this world
Where darkness has overcome me
I’m living life in the shadows
Where sunlight is forbidden to shine
I’m here with the devil who doesn’t sleep
All the while wrecking this life of mine
By most I know I’ve been forgotten
In this life that’s been consumed by loneliness
Gone is all of my hopes and dreams
They’ve been replaced by despair and loneliness
For me there’s no more blue skies
That my eyes will ever again see
Only dreary skies full of gray
Is all that’s being displayed for me
I’m no longer able to again enjoy
The beauty of flowers as they bloom
They are simply a fragrant of once was
Before my world was filled with gloom
