Loneliness whispers to me
reaching deep inside of me
our self-inflicted tragedies
have rendered me hollow
our dreams remain unspoken
there is a longing, I cannot name
all is lost, and covenant broken
your shadows still clinging to me
glimpses of ancient ghosts
in the dark depths of my soul
fading into the void of night
my small light of hope
still dancing in the gentle wind
a slow burning candle
in my sea of darkness
the things unsaid still whisper
yet the endless silence
speaks louder than words
