emptiness

 
the heart of me is needing
fiending your soul, black
I am keening in the emptiness
solemnly I hold myself

I vow not to crumble
into the utter darkness
it is claustrophobic the way I feel
the walls are coming closer
and you are so far away

deep regret hurts me
hunted are my thoughts
I seek refuge in doubt
sincere feelings assault my loneliness
I can't touch these emotions

cold and so foreign a thought
you could love me
I think, maybe

dangerous game the mind plays
earnest honesty isn't enough, is it?

gentle voice, innocence defiled
cruel fate tortures
of never was love

never could be
just isn't possible
forget it
