My Ghost Town

This hollow space in my heart
Is more than just within my heart

You scarred my soul, you chained me down to the hell you brewed for me

I fell for you, yet you stepped back, as an illusion traveling through space. time.

I walked these passages before ...
A time long ago, I felt this horror and hatred, this pain and suffering...

But now I see a immence light, shining from miles away

As I near this light I find myself making out the figure of a Girl ... 

Her cheaks soaked in salt, her body trembling from the cold ...

I saw her, and I saw myself.
