Walk with me through this barren desert. As we search for the life that was once here. The forest that filled this land vanished As nature left in search of better ground Only to consume itself Leaving behind this barren wasteland. Although we traverse together, our hearts and minds are miles apart. Consumed by our own thoughts Our own pain. It is all that can fill the emptiness of this land We drink but thirst. We eat but hunger. Our agony is as filling as the void of this desert. Mindless we walk as lost souls fill this world Traveling with no destination Walking this same path every day. Our lives are consumed by this desert. It is all we see. It is all we know.

The Void
Walk with me through this barren desert. As we search for the life that was once here. The forest that filled this land vanished As nature left in search of better ground Only to consume itself Leaving behind this barren wasteland. Although we traverse together, our hearts and minds are miles apart. Consumed by our own thoughts Our own pain. It is all that can fill the emptiness of this land We drink but thirst. We eat but hunger. Our agony is as filling as the void of this desert. Mindless we walk as lost souls fill this world Traveling with no destination Walking this same path every day. Our lives are consumed by this desert. It is all we see. It is all we know.
