Souls That Are Gone

Their souls are gone Eyes that are hollow Burn inside the sun Don’t flinch a muscle When death comes along Scratching at the marrow Chilled to the bone Sadness carried into tomorrow Forever their hearts un sewn Whispers blowing the wind of sorrow Walking together all alone Enough pain to borrow Black roses are strewn Bodies buried in the shallows Living in shadows unknown Swinging from the gallows In weakness their strong Just human fallows With souls that are gone..
