Heartbreak shakes my hand again
Mottled with grays and hints of black
In awe of my grimace, it paces
Observing my battered heart
As the crimson flashes from my chest
My light is squandered once again

As the cold embrace tightens my throat
I am speechless to this view on life
Desolate and distraught  
Of the corpse I have shriveled into

I must kneel to the darkness afoot
With tears to choke the last breaths I take
I am left abandoned
Alone
Of all that I have ever loved
And more importantly
All I have ever lost
