Deepness of Abyss

The darkness falls and I am covered o’er
An overwhelming feel of nothing right
The lack of sound inside my head does roar
With walls so high they emulate the night

I huddle cold in heat that makes me sweat
The lack of motivation rules my soul
The dripping love of piercéd heart’s regret
Of failing life, not living truths I know

The lack of love can shatter souls apart
Where nothing lies inside the depths of me
The chasm ruins perfect part of heart
Pretended black’s the only truth I see

To live with you would heal my soul, my life
Resolve my pain and comfort all my strife
