I Am A Lost Soul

While sitting in the darkroom I think
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, for I may never understand why I am still here?
Time is precious, But sometimes lost in the night
Each passing day tortures the mind, your voice tortures your body, the hopelessness torments for the pain that eats away
The shadows are my only companion
And I am a lost soul
