Empty

Empty my words, thoughts and feelings
Echo this silence as it screams
Abstract distance, feckless disdain
Bury that which keeps me sane

Dark the heart borne of this temptress
Beating wildly inside my breast
Desire claws seeking freedom
Desperate her thirst for my kingdom

Pebbles moist, cast in thin waters
On pressed knees in prayerful bother
For her sins to be forgiven
Escape the madness in her head

Unsettled breaths, still my heartbeat
Weary I, in forever sleep
Rise up my soul, eternal night
Come the angels who give me flight
