Lost Soul

The sun sets far beyond the horizon

Leaving me in darkness

The loneliness of my heart

The solitude of my existence

More profound than ever.

There is no one to see the tears

No one to feel the pain

No one to hold my hand

As every moment passing by

Seems to go away in vain.

But it wasnt always like this

There was a time when i was happy

When i smiled with every morning sunshine

When my heart sang with every rain

When there was excuberence in my step

And my world was a secure place.

Then my haven broke

It all came crashing down

The silver linings melted away into shadows

And there was just me, left bare.

The days pass by

Life moves on

I no longer sing when it rains

But use it to hide my tears and my pain

To smile, i no longer know how

To live is a task

The joy of it long gone.

Its morning once again

The sun is rising beyond the horizon

The world is moving on its path

I lay awake like i had the night before

And the night before that

Wondering where to go

When everything i once had

Has all been lost.

I don't know what to do

I don't know where to start

My life is no longer mine

And neither is my love

Who once held my heart

And everything that i had.

Those were the days of promises

Of words left unspoken

Of deep sighs and affections

Of faith and emotions

And those are the days long gone.

Today there is nothing

No promises to hold on to

No loving eyes to drown into

No holding hands as the sun sets down

No stolen kisses and moments so profound.

There are only memories to live by

As i fall towards endless darkness

I'm falling....falling

Don't try and hold me

Just set me free

And let me go.
