Hollow
Come
Enter sleep of sheltered lies
I sense a fractured yearning
Time signals, I've spent another strike
Leaving fragments of hope behind

A sacrifice of promise
Emotions failing, collapsing
No signs would lead me, to destiny’s favour
A place where focus is denied

This punishment a fitting prize
It enticed me into the bleakness
An eager silhouette
A pleasure for a cynical mind

Each appearance
Leavesits amark on my soul
I'm devolving (Time holds the key)
I count the seconds (I breathe with measure)
Doomed to watch these figures
While forsaking the living
A pitiless fate
Ensures my spiral downwards
Sinking into the void

Taste of a bliss I wish undone
Chills from a sensation reborn
How I wish I had known
This rejection of pain
Would be my weakness

That the pleasure of joy
Could never hold up
To the misery's grip
And the peace I’d known
Would never be seen again

Now the suffering
Leaves a mark on my soul
It would beckon me back to the dark

I empty my cup of hope
Elation oppressed behind my walls
Now I wait in a secret hollow place
For the only comfort that would come my way
