The Lost

The Lost

thy heart cold as ice
chilled by pain and despair
all that once was dear
has perish within darkness.
Deep into the soul
cry a young child
whom grew into a woman
deceive by empty promises
heartbroken and cast.
She now stand a hollow being
searching for the fire
that once burn
the desire of life
she so cherish
searching for
what was once her.
All that has come and gone
eats away at her.
Driving her deeper
into the abyss
she has made for herself.
Then a light
no matter how small
begin to warm
her heart.
She has found love
once more,
but a love that must
be earned
to be kept.
For she has become
the lost
a shadow of what
once was.
