The emptiness that comes to me Doesn't come when the sun shines It comes when the night stars litter the sky Where the darkest souls come to play That is when the desolation of my soul begins Burning memories remind me of where I am Lost in the past, while drowning in the future What future could be placed in this obscure void Glimmering moments of ecstasy slip through the holes Seconds of bliss show what could be To be content Before the flood of hopelessness returns again
