In long velvet sighing hallways
With no shining beckoning light
No path guiding me forward
Nor any awaits me behind
My eyes shuttered windows
To life I am completely blind

I am stone deaf
To the sounds of angels
Having no ear for love and hope
Round my soul tightening
A strong knotted rope
I stand on the edge
Looking down in hesitation
Contemplating the jump

I cannot vocalize the sadness
That is devouring me
A lovers truth painted with pretty lies
My lips refusing to speak the words
My heart
An emptying hourglass
Seeping pain slowly dies

I am lost
In dark velvet sighing hallways
With no one to hear my echoing cries
