Purgatory of Broken Hearts
The darkness here is blinding
In this prison of lost desires
Not even a burning ember
Can rekindle the forsaken fires
A tomb of broken promises
Is my only company
No hope for an escape
No chance to ever be free
Pain and heartache mock me
As I ponder my mistakes
The sound I hear is deafening
From the heart that finally breaks
My thoughts, my only refuge
Of the things that could have been
But grief will soon remind me
Of the love that had to end
Comfort and joy betray me
Tomorrow will never come
Held captive in my anguish
As I am left, feeling numb
My purgatory is the silence
And here I shall remain
Forever to be forgotten
For my captor is my pain
