Emptiness...

I stand amongst the shadows

Watching from a far,not letting the sun shine down upon me

I stare into the dark skies,

Praying to be set free,to be alive to be at peace

To be taken away from this emptiness that engulfs me

It consumes me like a plague, a plague of time

No mercy it shows, Not even as I kneel here

Begging to be set free.

My eyes sore with tears that stream and fall down upon thy breast, were I lay now in the dirt of the earth, Chained to its roots as it drains the very life from within me

I am its life support, the constant emptiness

I stand amongst the shadows, watching from a far, Not letting the sun shine down upon me

My heart slowly beats till silence and I am no more, My eyes close for the last time

And I am gone for an eternity, I will lay here now, Sleep till I am reborn of life
