I Am A Lost Soul

For I may never make it through
Because a tear is just a piece of gloom
While sitting in the darkroom.
They say, all good things have to end
But I am still here
Darkness is my only companion
Loneliness is my only companion
I mourn for your beating heart.
But I don’t want to live
For I may never understand what the heart wants
I am but a lost soul.
Time is precious
Tick, tock
I am but a broken dream
Forever in darkness
Don’t shed a tear for me
