Empty

I am empty
I cannot breathe
Desperate whisper
My lonesome heart
Sorrowed drifter

Gentle waters
Murky and deep
And fail the Sun
To bring me warmth
My soul undone

Shards of glass loose upon the floor
Fragmented life behind closed doors
Precious child ne’er will she see
Caged beauty will never be free

Innocent child
Fallen this night
Seeking redemption
Exorcised demons
In death, she is blessed

Restful Angel sleep
Final prayers she rests
In dark hear her weep
The water rises
Finally, in peace

Lullaby sung for this lost soul
A mother’s child is lost no more
Beckon her to forever land
The bluest sky and whitest sand
