Words In Vain

Soul is in darkness in hopes to detain
Heart is in reaction with a chest pain
Nothing is plain and simple, words in vain
Key is thrown away in hopes to maintain
A grain of control, though there is no gain
For the active pursuit is to restrain
The only voice willing to speak again
Not to create rain or a hurricane
Words are not in anyway said in vain
The soul does not exist to be in vain
