Empty

THERE IS A HOLE IN MY SOUL,
EMPTY,GREY,BLEEK AND DARK.
THIS EMPTINESS IS KILLING ME,
IS THIS WHAT MY LIFE IS MEANT TO BE.
LOST AND ALONE FOR ALL ETERNITY,
FULL OF CONFUSION AND UNCERTAINTY.
I ACCEPT THIS FOR IT IS THE PATH I HAVE MADE,
IM MY MIND THE EMOTIONS HAVE BEEN REPLAYED.
MAKING ME MORE CONFUSED THAN I'VE BEEN IN YEARS,
SHEDDING THOSE LOST AND FORGOTTEN TEARS.
YET TO HEAR HER VOICE FILLS ME WITH SUCH JOY,
 TO SEE HER FACE MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A SCHOOL BOY.
HER TOUCH AND WARM EMBRACE MAKE ME ALL AGLOW,
WHICH I'VE ONLY FELT A FEW TIMES SINCE SO LONG AGO.
SINCE I LOCKED MY HEART UP WAY BACK WHEN,
PRAYING I'D NEVER HURT AND ACHE LIKE THIS AGAIN.
ALAS THE ACHING PAIN IS BACK AND ANEW,
ONCE AGAIN CAUSED BY THE LOSS OF YOU.
