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
