Empty Places
Empty places that once were full
Are now my prison walls
The silence seems to mock my pain
As the voice of loneliness calls
The valleys now I wander quiet
The mountains, all laid low
No way to climb, to be raised up
My heart, no place to go
Broken into a million pieces
Shattered, beyond repair
My journey ends in desolation
No one to meet me there
I hide my eyes to calm my fears
But the screams don't go unheard
Goodbye, is written inside my heart
A hollow and lonely word
A place like this is not quite hell
But it's as close as you can get
Reminded of the day you died
A day I can't forget
