Lonesome ever,
Anguished soul of robbed sunshine,
Rhythmic mind of mournful song,
Seeks the heart the loved one,
Schizophrenic screams,
Cradling a bleeding day,
Maiming dreams of a dreaming soul,
Nibble at life until fed,
Soiled footpath of betrayal echoes,
Choking the heart shorn and woeful,
Desires wails, furtively slashing my share of happiness,
Hunger in depth for a longing caress,
Writhing wings of clipped heart,
That’s been butchered by a heart so cold,
Unfaithful promise breeds the gloom,
Stripped and naked, bleeding emotions on a thorny path,
Alone I sway, now in grief,
Vacant gazes, tomorrows wrapped in pain,
Disabled soul accompany my loneliness,
What I have gained is a tormented heart.
