Empty Room

Cold eyes cast in the ashen colorless room As smoky loneliness revels in an unheard tune Playing in the background of a cruel lurid sentiment Of two truths colliding while two lovers lament Its bitterness is the venom of their love Here alone in the empty gloom Words slash like knives slaughtering silence with hideous doom While this foolish heart listens and cries with its torment Its bitterness is the venom of this love I've held you with arms so empty, so bare Like the flowers at a funeral that wilt in despair I am abandoned and life is loveless and without intent My epitaph will read "My life was surrendered and spent" Here alone in this empty room Its bitterness is the venom of love
