Loveless

You hold nothing in my decrepit heart There is nothing there for you I see nothing that’s free I don’t know what you have inside your heart As it has blackened from soot And your hate has come out Our pale lives have darkened beyond all hope Our hearts have been torn apart Now completely loveless
