Pangs of Love

A lonely silence fills my broken heart
With rolling tear spilled eyes upon my face
When all the joyful beauty falls apart
To leave a breathless sorrow to embrace
My deepest saddest shadows overwhelm
With voiceless screams from every fallen tear
That flow in waves within this trembled realm
Where all my lovely dreams now disappear
In my loneliness of darkness dreary
Where I will leave my tears without a trace
The emptiness in my soul grew weary
I held the holy essence of its grace

The pangs of love that's lost is always felt
A prisoner once chained with tears I've knelt
