Emptiness



There was a time I had joy
Long ago when I was a boy
But now only pain resides
Ripping apart my insides

Happiness and love are gone
As I am only life's pawn
My heart beats no more
For hope has left the door

My broken soul lies dead
With the words of love unsaid
Never to reveal the heart
Only to fall apart

I wish this pain would fade
So I could emerge from the shade
But misery bides me here
Engulfing me in fear

The greatest threat to man's soul
Are the doubts that create a hole
An incomplete man reaps sorrow
Swallowing him in shadow
