In the dust and the shadows
in the dark depths of my soul
I think of you, how we lost each other
and how it still torments me
from deep within the empty caverns
of my broken heart
I hear the siren call of darkness
its’ haunting song
whispering like waterfalls
hushed and beautiful
across the black seas of night
it echoes deep in in the darkness
and the moon looks down on me
I stand at the edge of the unknown
and wish the wind could carry me away
I still feel your heart with me
but all my hopes, all my dreams
are now forever lost
scattered, along a petal laid path
