My Only Friend

Whispers haunt my dreams
With voices of the past
Our future fades away
Destined not to last

Sorrow makes its nest 
In my hollow heart
Emptiness resides
And tears my soul apart

Now, a single heartbeat
Once, where there were two
Just the sound of loneliness
Whatever will I do

Broken and betrayed
Lost without direction
Cursed forevermore
To never know affection

A tomb of rejected love
Imprisoned 'til the end
The tears I cry each night
Are now my only friend

"A tomb of rejected love Imprisoned 'til the end" Wow. Claustrophobic. Great poem. Deep and actually a bit scary.
