A Dying Flame

As I slowly close my eyes I can see what I once had Screaming out loud but no one hears Surrounded by emptiness I clench my teeth to hold back the tears The fire that burned is now dying down I cannot hope no more Do not dare to believe Erased emotions, denial of lust I fear the pain of being left alone Lies to myself, just want to forget Years of joy turns to despair Tries to get through the mist of love And I cry along the way Thoughts goes around in my bitter mind Confused, tries to understand My soul is empty, Im dying inside I want to find the path that leads back to life
