Emptiness

I feel desolated
Abandoned and free
Yet it seems that
Emptiness is consuming me
A void within
That hungers for love
Yet it feels free
Free as a dove...

My freedom is fleeting
False hopes it gives
As it feeds upon me
As if it truly lives
Emptiness fills me
With loneliness tonight
No more I will take
No more I will fight...

My soul still aches
For love it must
Yet it kills me slowly
And turns life to dust
Life is so fleeting
Death is wherever I see
Only love is eternal
Yet it means nothing
Nothing to me...

Wonderful work here hon.  Describing how we all have felt at times, wanting love, needing love, yet sort of scared to love again...  Brilliant
