Emptyness

Tis but a hollow feeling
That touchs our very soul
It leaves an emptyness within us
And why we do not know


Our eyes show all the sadness
The mind cries out in pain
A body that feels but lifeless
That fights to stay but sane.

Yet all the hurt we feel inside
That ripes us clean apart
though its not fair
and can't compare
To the emptyness within the heart.

So time will heal all wounds they say
And the emptyness will soon depart
And from the dark shall come the light
And love will feel the heart.
