Screaming

Buried deep within the earth
The darkness eats at me
The earth envelopes me
I am consumed from where I did start

Kidnapped from the holds of life
Taken away from daily strife
I suffer alone from deep beyond
Feeding on the tears of my own fright

Walking upon deadly dreams
Only ghosts hear me scream
For haunted nights, is my daily rite
Love escapes this lonely soul

I scream, but no one hears
Peaceful waters, frozen over
Hide my desires, screaming
For the warmth, of your heart
