Within the deafening silence

Defenseless as light's hope slips away

Beyond a dim horizon; good succumbs to evil

Threatening darkness creeping in

A heart still whole could battle such

Not one though; such that I own

A simple shell to house all that is tattered

Utterly defeated

Upon the floor; grasping the earth

Gasping for breath

Praying for freedom

This tyranny of sorrow; ruling unchallenged

Only the wounded soul can reveal

The fate which lies in store

For the pieces of the shattered heart
