Hollow

My days pass by in random paths

no meaning to my life

A withered soul of many years

regrets are more than rife

So hollow and devoid of love

and longing for the end

I’ve lived alone so many years

no reasons to pretend

My spirit died so long ago

I’m now the walking dead

What memories still remain with me

they flicker in my bed

I once knew love so long ago

but fools did take her life

My world came crashing to an end

It ended in one night

She was a diamond in my life

so brilliant in my heart

A treasure so remarkable

I loved her from the start

Tonight when slumber comes for me

I won’t look back again

I’ll drift away eternally

and there I will remain
