Somber Eyes

Where are you, sweet glow
I’m trapped
lost in this sad place
This place place of regret
of dark, and of spirits

The light, I need her now,
to bring be back…
To life? No, there is none
None, it’s gone, we’re gone, but we aren’t

Purified regret
dripping down the blood stained walls
Down my cheeks, it drips down to the floor
Lost, it’s gone
Reminding me
buried beneath is just an empty void

Where is it?
Not here, no
But you are, I’ve seen
I’m wrong, I’m just lost
always just lost, alone

Is it you, you whose gone?
No, you’re here,
I’m away, gone
trapped in my own mind
Such a horrible place filled with terror and ache

Insanity has locked it
The door to this place
And thrown the key away
Far, far away
But it is—isn’t it? This place
It doesn’t exist

Where are you?
I’ve not seen
you, are you here?
I must have, a need to be embraced
By the gone, the broken

Please, hold me in your weak arms and weep
But you are not really here
Hold me, sweet loneliness
You are all I have now
