Nothing Else Matters

In the quiet dark, where tears fall free,
There's a place inside, just you and me.
No more pain, no worldly clatters,
In this empty space, nothing else matters.

Lost in a void, no joy, no light,
Aching hearts, endless night.
No more dreams, no hopes it shatters,
In this deep despair, nothing else matters.

Lonely souls, we drift and weep,
In this vast void, so cold and deep.
No more laughter, no friendly chatters,
In this heavy silence, nothing else matters.

But hold on tight, for dawn may break,
In sadness, love can still awake.
Through tears and fears, new life scatters,
In a fragile moment, something else matters.

I don't know what Metallica means you and Tom mentioned. I just know your tearful state of mind produced a beautiful heartfelt poem. I will go read more of your poems.
