The Valley of Loss
Dried up in the dusted remnants of life within
Now in the deserted valley of my echoes hollow
Powdered flakes caught up within the wind again
Leaving no trace for the no one who will never follow
Vacantly running absent in a profound sense of loss
Lost in isolation in this world that does not exist
Pain washes through the dirty streets in resemblance
Of the way this became something not able to resist
Here in this dwelling living in lack of self awareness
Drawing dusty doodles of the caverns in my heart
Wind shows no mercy in the sweeping of our souls
All the ones that remained here choosing to fall apart
No guides, no maps, no directions on how to escape
Soon you won't even be able to remember your name
So deeper willing to fall down into the tides of darkness
Drowning in pools of loss while still burning with shame
