A world devoid of love
Slowly suffocates the heart
and one's will to live.
My soul cries out for its completion.
Another soul to make whole the voids which slowly grow.
Love, Love why do you betray me?
Cause my heart to bleed, to cry blood tears.
Cause my soul to writhe in agony,
to drown in sorrow.
My heart knows many emotions.
It knows hate, and anger,
betrayal, torture, and pain.
Agony, aching, longing and need.
These are the things my heart knows well.
But love? Love is a foreign word.
Something my heart has never known.
It aches, it bleeds, and it dies a little each day.
Desperation taking it's toll.
The want, the need, the desire to feel love
is slowly killing me.
Slowly putting out my tiny flame of hope.
It won't last much longer.
It's become to small compared to the growing void
where love should be.
My heart can't take this, I can't take this.
Kill me now, make it quick.
Rip out my heart while it still beats
and throw it in the trash.
What's the point of having a heart
if you can't feel love?
Let me die, let me depart.
Release me from my tormented heart
