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
