Empty Shadows

Loneliness deepens throughout the night penetrating the dark corners of my mind tangled with the loss of togetherness why must love be so unkind Reaching for someone to hold onto finding only shadows to distant to grasp somber memories stir like a sudden storm longings reflect on the past When hours after twilight were cherished quit moments two people share feelings of devotion surround serenity hung in the air Now detachment stings with each heart beat unable to find comfort of any kind only when two hearts are reunited a tortured soul can find peace of mind
