Lonely
My lonely heart cries in the empty night
and its sobbing sound is the tears that call
from deep pain that rises like birds in flight
trying to flee from my heartbroken fall
long is the time when my heart is alone
and the creep of confusion will intrude
nowhere to turn I cleave to the unknown
tortured in a shadowy world subdued
my pain-filled eyes are a distant blank void
where silence becomes a much louder scream
I look to my soul and find it's devoid
and cross the realm of this nightmarish dream
time is a venom where pain will ferment
my soul is crippled, and my emotions spent
