Premiere Contest WinnerLove's Eternal Death

The hollow eyes of love are never gone
They keep within the waves of trembled tears
From days so poor when love was looked upon
And one where the deepest pain adheres
They give my eyes of love, a sad refrain
To think that love would ever be so cruel
I found it's an illusion, self-contained
When love so grand became so minuscule
To hold love in the dreamer's mind, I've flown
And found the point of rest, its final breath
To know I will forever be alone
Cry now as then for its eternal death
I found a love to hold and saw it die
Inside the depths of dark pain, I ask why
