A Hollow Heart
Time went to pass
Now’s time to go
I don’t want to leave
On must go the show
But I’ve been here a while
Over long to stay
I should pick up a smile
And be on my way
But something holds still
Near and true to my heart
An emptiness to fill
Which is why I cannot part
So on I still fight
The battle not won
Plundering might
From depths undone
But closer I come
Death’s whisper in my ear
But screaming in silence
A fear that I’m near
I lie on death’s table
Struggling for breath
Not much longer I am able
To fight off my own death
Yet you stand next to me
Holding onto what I’m left
Grasping my hand you softly say
Without you, love I am bereft
Then in an instant, it’s filled
The hole in my heart
Nothing else more to build
What I’ve wanted from the start
So now I breathe deep
One final pure and true
As for the smile I will keep
Because it was love I finally knew
